Hi Mitch

Yep, that was the problem alright, I was thinking about it the other day and I realised the EOS switch must be closed in order to complete the circuit to the flipper solonoid. With the leaf broken off there was no juice getting through.
I made up a replacement leaf out of mild steel, It works but not very well, the mild steel doesn't have enough spring in it to return to closed so the flipper only works for a bit. I got it working a bit better by sticking a rubber band around the two leafs to make them contact again once the flipper is in rest position but its only a stop gap measure.
Now the question is where can I get a new EOS switch for the Hankin???
I note that some parts from bally fit this machine which makes sense as it would hardly warrant tooling up to make specific hardware for a low production run as the hankin machines.
So they would have sourced most of their hardware from readily available stocks. I see RTBB has some EOS switches but I am at a loss as to which one to order??
Any suggestions??

Cheers
