Ello - Happy New Year and stuff...
My mate's Funhouse has developed a bit of an odd behaviour. The main left flipper is slow to return to its resting position. This happens after every activation, and is a consistently slow speed.
Initially I thought maybe it was a clearance problem (despite the fact the flipper has never been touched) but there is space between the playfield at the plastic, so it's not that. I'm also unconvinced it's a coil problem as there is no issue with the power of the flipper when used, but the slow return is both distracting and is causing gameplay issues. It behaves this way even if the flipper is manually moved with the power off.
Anyone have any thoughts as to what this could be?
And the bonus starter for 10 - on my TZ I've noticed that some of the bulbs haven't been changed to LEDs. I'm only talking perhaps 4 or 5, but bearing in mind everything else is LED and no expense appears to have been spared elsewhere I have to believe there is some logic to why this is, rather than cost saving. To give an example - the white insert (?) between the pop bumpers is a regular incandescent bulb. The only thing I can think is that the socket is slightly recessed from the insert and the previous owner couldn't be bothered to buy any of those flexible LEDs? Beyond that I'm at a loss...
