T2 weak flippers
« on: January 19, 2016, 06:34:53 PM »
G'day people. Just hoping for some help with a pin I picked up on the weekend. After sorting display problem and wiring issues I finally played a game on it. The flippers worked but struggled to shoot the ramps. Checked the flippers and both moved freely. Changed coils. It had correct coils in but put new ones in anyway. It still seems a bit sluggish up the ramps. Is there something else I should have checked or done? Thanks for any help guys.

Maybe your EOS are coming in too early

Checked eos. They look to be adjusted correctly.

Interested in hearing responses as I reckon mine were weakish and have tried this recently to improve their performance. I bent outwards the main plate assembly that attaches the flipper mechs to the underside of the playfield. Only a slight adjustment made where the coil stop sits. This should provide a little more travel in the flipper bat arc. I played with the eos and set it a fraction too late in opening and just blew fuses.

Make sure you have the correct coil rating as well

Maybe check the contact condition and amount of spark on the EOS and the flipper button switches.

Have a look at this Youtube video at the 5 minute 30 mark.
