I don't think there's a better explanation of flipper problems and fixes than this video. VERY good.

[@musicalmystery1993]

That was nothing short of EPIC! Thank you SO much for all that detailed information. Very well taught! It makes me feel so much more at ease investing in an expensive pinball machine when I feel confident that I can handle maintenance and repair. :)

[@thomasware3853]

Wow , you are an incredible teacher. I feel quite confident now after this for diagnosing my flipper assembly, many thanks

[@ou812grn]

Thank you for this great tutorial!

[@brentbowen5167]

Thanks Jack and team for these detailed videos! Love it!

[@biosmoney]

Thank you. I had a flipper sticking in the on position due to the bushing in the plastic part of the flipper linkage. I'm a newbie, so I didn't realize that when the flippler linkage bolt broke and fell into the cabinet, that there was a bushing. I found the bushing in the cabinet. Installed it with the bolt and now the flipper doesn't travel too far to get stuck. Thanks for the layout of parts in the video.

Thanks for doing these technical assembly videos!

[@BlackStarEOP]

This was just what I needed for my virtual cabinet build, thank you!

Thank you so much for this really interesting learning opportunity. I'm new to pinball inner workings (i've played them all my life) and i'm trying to troubleshoot the left flipper on my Atilla The Hun table that keeps pausing in the "up" position. I suspect that the coild is not releasing the charge properly, but i don't know. Kind of lost. After this video, i have a bit more confidence in going home tonight and opening her up to see what I can see with new eyes.

Best video I have seen so far. Well done well explained. Professional

[@markushughes2460]

Thanks! Very helpful and appreciated.

[@Yetimon]

Excellent level of detail. Thank you!

[@rcrelichunter8598]

Great video! Just got flipper rebuild kits for my Black Knight machine. This will help a lot. Only difference I see is my spring location. My springs are on the shaft entering the coil.

[@Pb200302]

Fantastic video, very thorough and very informative. Thank you !!!!!

[@mskochinski]

Amazing, as a newer owner this explained so much of what was wrong. Thank you.

[@DuncanDimanche-sreview]

Thanks so much !!! My Bally Radical has some flippers issues ! They aren’t exactly the same but it helped tremendously

[@ralphs007]

Excellent teaching video, thanks for taking the time to produce this video.

[@AKouzmanoff]

This was super helpful as a new pin owner. Thanks.

[@juanmanuelgarcia199]

great! this was really helpful. I hope to see more even though this vid is a few years old not sure if you guys continued making these

[@davidcarper5411]

A coil stop and coil sleeve keep things fresh, every 3 to 6 months during home use.

[@Tydence]

That's a really informative video. Thanks!

[@donjaun540]

Thank you.😊 What a fantastic video.

[@roncameron]

Perfect, thanks!

[@kjellin]

Thank you!

[@bheasy1]

I love gilbert gottlieb flipper rebuild video! =)

[@atusvideoservices2213]

this was great, where can I find more videos?

[@chipgt1]

This was great and very informative for people who are new to pinball like me thanks. I have a hobbit machine and the flippers mechs are covered in a gray powder, and occasionally gets stuck due to a build up. What do you recommend for cleaning the parts? It seams like I am needing to clean them rather often like twice a month due build up or every 6-10 games. Could this be due to a failing part? I have been using a Dry lint free rag to clean the parts, is there a product I can use? Or is a rebuild more in my future?

[@jasperjesse5095]

you probably dont care at all but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly lost the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.

[@jaxxgianni1008]

@Jasper Jesse Instablaster :)

[@jasperjesse5095]

@Jaxx Gianni i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@jasperjesse5095]

@Jaxx Gianni It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account !

[@jaxxgianni1008]

@Jasper Jesse glad I could help :D

[@Mo_Ketchups]

👏👏👌

I just got a baby pac-man pinball arcade and when you push the flipper button it just keeps flipping. You can actually hold the button in and the flipper will keep flipping. Any idea as to what is causing this?

[@billwilliams6338]

JERSEY JACK PINBALL, 1.) Why does pinball repair technician try to "demagnetize" the solenoids plunger? because I would think you would want the plunger to be magnetized so it can be able to be pushed and pulled in by the coils magnetic field. 2.) When pressing the flipper solenoid it creates an arcing spark across the switch contracts but to prevent it is to add a diode or capacitor?

[@davidcarper5411]

Magnetized parts create wear

[@AdamGtr86]

70 Volts?

[@davidcarper5411]

Yes, 58 to 83 volts
