What are the recommended substitutes for a Hankin Empire Strikes Back flipper coil? Have a mate who has one with modified Bally coils(havent seen it yet) and are apparently very weak. He wants to change them regardless of any other mechanical/coil sleeve issue. Thanks.
I've seen Bally and Gottlieb coils in Hankins, and Hankin coils in Ballys.
Hankin did use Gottlieb parts / assemblies in games, so you might be able to use a "A-17875" as a substitute. Keep in mind I've never had to change a Hankin coil - I have a Hankin "ES 222" coil - which I THINK is the right coil - not sure if it is good.
The best thing to do is check the resistance of an existing coil - that is not weak, and then you can choose between ;
GTB - 17875 (2.8/40 ohms)
Bally - AQ 25/2500 34/4500
or if my ES 222 is good (and the right one) you can have that
