I wonder could anyone help me with this problem Iv caused myself
I tried to rebuild my t2 flippers
But when I've put it all together again
The flippers are controlling the cannon ,when held in !
And nothing from the flippers
A few things happened during the rebuild of note
A wire came off coil on right flipper and a wire came off the plunger
Other than that I don't know what I've done wrong
Iv checked the solder joints a few times and the wiring should be ok now
Might not of been first time around
Before I started this it was all working
Any ideas anyone ?
Thanks

Got a few good tips on Pinside about it .
Going to go back to start and sort the soldering out ,as it's a mess
Hoping something is just shorting there
Would also appreciate any tips here

Did u photograph the mech before you dismantled it? If they were working before, it'll be a simple case of the wrong wire on the wrong lug. Or perhaps a bad diode.

For your info mate, looking at your pic, you NEED to get rid of that zip tie and replace it with a bolt. Also make sure the coil end stop is flush, which yours is not. It will drastically reduce the power in the flipper. Trust me. Such a small adjustment can make a huge difference. I know this as it happened to me this very week!!

Also look at ipdb as it will probably have detailed pics of the underside of the pf, showing how it should be wired

Good luck
