Time for a laugh. I check the coil & seemed ok, check diode looked ok, thought stuff it replace the coil. Never did this but hey its only 2 screws & a bracket and its off. Replaced coil but had real struggle putting the bracket on as the screws don't line up with the holes. When I got them in the plunger would cease. No matter what I did the plunger was either ceased or struggled to return.
Now the stupid part. I remember the tech saying something about cable ties when he did the rebuild (I'll talk to him to confirm this), but I reckon the last fixer found the same problem as me and cable tied the bracket in place. My tech thought he'd do the right thing but must have missed the fact the plunger had a hard time moving.
Put a couple of ties and the fuse won't blow, but I don't like the fix it as the flipper can be a little sluggish at time returning. Might look at elongating the holes on the bracket (what do you think?)
I'm no electronics man but I figure the load on the plunger would have sent the amps spastic...yes-no?
Thanks for all your help guys appreciate it heaps.
