Every so often the lower right flipper stops completely and there is no voltage at the coil, then comes back after the buttons are played with, lasting a few games before failing again. Fuses are fine.
Lower right flipper cuts out for a few games at a time: faulty EOS switch
Cause: On these Data East games the EOS switch is normally closed and is part of the coil's power path. The switch looked fine but was not making reliable contact.
Checks
- Clip a jumper across the EOS switch, or hold its contacts together by hand, and see if the flipper works every time.
- Also check the flipper board fuse clips and header joints, which often crack on this board.
Fix
- Replace the EOS switch; fit a new coil sleeve and return spring while the flipper is apart.
