The right flipper is stuck part-way up and the plunger and sleeve can't be pulled out of the coil.
Flipper stuck half-way, sleeve won't come out: broken coil stop
Cause: The coil stop had broken, letting the plunger jam half-way. The coil then overheated and the sleeve stuck inside it. The drive transistor was not at fault.
Checks
- Inspect the coil stop for cracks or a broken face.
- Check the EOS switch; a broken EOS also overheats the coil over time.
Fix
- Replace the coil, sleeve and coil stop.
- When powering up after the repair, turn the game straight off if the new coil pulls in at once (a stuck driver would cook it).
