I put new rubber rings on a RFM. I had to unplug the aliens and remove their posts to do so. I put everything back together. Now the left alien will only jump 3 or 4 times during that part of game play. Everything works perfectly in test mode. I can't find any signs of binding in the mech. I did not do anything to the coil mechanism at all. I am stumped. Do the pinball 2k have some sort of feedback that would cause this? The aliens in game play jump much faster than they do in test mode. Is something getting overheated or a charge depleting? I am stumped. Any suggestions??
