« on: September 06, 2011, 12:30:48 PM »
Hi guys,   $.$

Have tried Searching but no luck thus far,

im having an issue with my Sinbad gottlieb machine,
I need to replace chime coils on the machine it currently has A17876 coils fitted but they are not working 1982 Catalogue shows the Part no: A5195.
I am trying to find out which ones i actually need or if it even matters, i currently have alot of conflicting information. ^&^

Thanks for your help!

If you are after the coils in the GTB 1982 manual, they are available here

I think the A-17876 coils are the factory fitted System 1 coils, so they are correct coils for your machine.

A-5195 are coils in EM chimes. They are less resistance and will sound much louder, or not work at all.

+1, in my system 1 games (Joker Poker). If they are not working it is unlikely to be the coils at issue, more likely something else. Have they ever worked, or any other info you can give about them?

+1.  The Sinbad manual states the A-17876 coils for the chime unit.

Sinbad came out as a SS and EM, so perhaps that is where the confusion is coming in?
