When I started my 4th game, trouble started. I noticed the right sling would fire anytime I pressed the flippers. After a lot of testing, I noticed that most but not all solenoids firing caused the right sling to double fire with it. Oddly, this only happened during the game, not during the solenoid test.
I decided it must be switch related and ran the switch test. Would have really liked a switch edges test like WMS uses, but anyway... I noticed that the right sling switch was closed. Further inspection showed the rubber ring was a bit too tight, maybe even slightly the wrong size? When I removed the rubber, the game problems when away..
Ultimately, I ended up stretching the rubber with my hands really good, and the game has been fine for the next 20 games or so.. Hurray!
Although I doubt anyone else will run into this strangeness, I thought I'd share incase someone does..
I was very relieved to fix my problems and get back to enjoying the game on my first night. So far, no other big problems have surfaced. |

you might want to gap the switch a bit more. if its like WMS you can bend the bracket back a hair.
not that bad of a problem.

Steve was at my house when I unpacked my game and I had a similar "Switch" problem. My left flipper EOS switch was closed. I was having extra balls in the trough and sometimes it would give you a new ball without any reason or recognizing that the ball had drained. I did the same thing, I adjusted the left flipper EOS and it's fine now. I have to guess that the switch matrix gets confused when the game boots with a switch closed that shouldn't be and tries to compensate for it (poorly).
