    Sticking slingshot FIXED

    I just used the old shaft from the flipper to strech the inside of the plastic coil sleeve. It was just sticking the off time. Works great now.

    Sticking slingshot FIXED

    I was a bit suspicious when the coil sleeve wouldn't come out. I didn't have a large enough drill bit. After looking through my pinball trash parts box I fould a flipper coil plunger assembly from the old bally atlantis that just fit the sleeve at the ends. I could feel the swelled spot in the...

    Sticking slingshot FIXED

    Checkpoint has a slingshot that occasionally stays out after deploying. I can hit the flipper button and it will return. I can wait it out and it will return. I am not having any humming so I will assume the coil is not on. I took off the coil cleaned up the coil stop and sleeve. Wondering if it...

    Kinda funny I got the machine in Delhi at an auction. Some ex tobacco farmers entertainment stash for his workers. There was also 3 upright video game cabinets at that one. I got lucky 90% of the time the farmer auctions are EM machines.

    Just posted my Checkpoint on kijijii. Pics and details are there. Pin rev price for fellow members is $1500 + $50 donation to this sites maintenance. I will hold off on taking non pin rev offers until the end of the weekend as I would prefer this machine to stay in the pin rev 'family'. Brad

    Switches double up or go to optic

    The 22-1080 was actually a generic 5v coil and not the 3v on the schematic. When troubles first started it was the first thing to get swapped back to stock. I was a bit taken aback when the coil was over 30 bucks but I wanted the real stern coil. As per our texts I have switched back to the...

    Switches double up or go to optic

    The replacement was installed before I got this machine. I will shift my focus to the bracket coils stop. With any luck the old one you included isn't bent. I have a brother that is a welder that could tack on a few more welds Another that's a machinist that may be able to cut me a one piece...

    Switches double up or go to optic

    I have not swapped them out as the assemby is moving freely. I did swap out the 5a coil for up down with the proper factory 3a. The garage did work properlythe first few games after trying the switch the other way and then returning it to normal. Seems to me that it could be that once it gets a...
