Title: 8 ball coil problem
Post by: pinfrog on August 29, 2009, 06:38:52 PM

Hi guys, turned on my 8 ball last night and smoke was coming from the left kicker coil . My question is in the manual the replacement coil is AR-26-1200 but I only have a AN-26-1200 ,can I use this.What does the AN and AR mean and would there be any damage to the sol driver board. Thanks.

I'm sure it would be ok to use the AN-26-1200 coil
More than likely there'd be damage to the driver board ,transistor would be blown ,maybe resistor or diode burnt and possibly 3081 chip damaged also....but you may be lucky and it's just the transistor.
