Title: Black hole lower playfield kicker, which coil?
Post by: solar value on October 16, 2016, 07:58:55 PM

Anyone know the correct coil for the lower playfield ball kicker, the one that sends the ball up the tube? The manual lists 2 different kickers and I'm not sure which is which?

Mine has an A-1496 in place, looks like a very old coil, so been there a long time. No idea if correct, and the manual is no help.

the lower hole kicker should be a A-16570 and the ball lift kicker should be a A-4893 .
hope that clears it up .
 lower left of page 45 of the manual lists the coils used

Thanks for that.

A-4893 = 2.1 ohm
A-1496 = 2.95 ohm

The A-1496 is weaker but does the job fine in my game.
