Re: Tech: HELP PLEASE! Gottlieb Big Indian flipper probs

Fact #1: Non standard - Yellow dot - coils
Fact #2: Problem is worse on high tap.

My suggestion is to look for horses, not zebras. (transformers and the
like)

I had a similar problem on Big Brave - It got worse with yellow dot.
This would be consistent with the high tap as well, I believe.


I think the discussion on that one was that the "hold" part of the
coil is no stronger than standard, but the flipper bat is coming to
the end of stroke faster and the weak part of the coil can't hold it
back.


Two suggestions:
1. Try standard strength coils.
2. Wait for a month or two and the flippers will not be as strong and
the bounce will stop - like it did with mine.

Good luck!!
