After self-inflicting damage to my Hot-Tip table, I ordered a replacement solenoid for the right flipper.
I pulled the damaged solenoid assembly...
And put the new solenoid in
Then put it back into the table and fired it up.
Everything works but no right-flipper.
Checking the circuit, the wiring is pretty simple. There is a blue wire that runs from the fuse directly to each flipper solenoid.
I checked the voltages, I had voltage at the fuse, voltage at left flipper and nothing at the right flipper.
After scanning the circuits for some kind of problem I went back to the solenoid. The solder on one of the posts did not look very good so I resoldered it.....and lo and behold, it worked!
and the light has been replaced, so the table is back in operation!!
whew
