SS Wonder Wizard™ Demolition Derby (Sentinel Inc, 1977) Broken Flipper

[mcgrailm]

Hello all and thanks for taking the time to read my post. I got a starter pinball machine about a year ago it called Demolition Derby and it made by Wonderwizard its had some minor problems that i've just dealt with as those problems didn't have much effect on play. However, recently the right side flipper fell past the usual stopping point and the flippers stopped working altogether. it is import to know that theses flippers work in unison so no matter what flipper button you press they are both suppose to flip.

I opened the machine removed the plexiglass cover etc and tilted it up and back to see if I could figure out what was wrong with it. What i found is that the right flipper fails to stay attached to the mechanism that makes the flipper flip. if I push the mechanism back up it will attach for the first flip maybe two if I'm lucky then it fall back out and any subsequent flipper triggering fails to produce any action

Could anyone tell me what I must do to fix this problem ?

thanks again
