The flipper relay clicks and there's about 37 V at the supply, but the flippers don't work in a game or in test.
Flippers dead after long storage: corroded button and EOS contacts
Cause: After years out of use, the cabinet flipper switches and the EOS switches were coated in white corrosion.
Checks
- Inspect the cabinet button switches and the EOS contacts for white or dull deposits.
- To rule out the relay, jumper the flipper ground return as the schematic shows.
Fix
- File and clean the contacts, then re-adjust the gaps.
