Here’s a new experience for me—jackhammering flipper. That big electromagnet is actually two coils in one. A high-power coil to drive the flipper up with great force, and a low power coil to hold the flipper up at the end of the stroke. That switch that gets hit at the end of the flippers stroke is called an end-of-stroke switch, EOS. What we see here is the low-power coil’s lug has broken off, so when the EOS switch gets hit, the high power is removed, and there is no low power to hold the flipper up. The flipper falls back down, the switch closes, the high-power coil fires, and so on. Added some fresh wire and soldered it all together again 🤙😊
