Playmatic Chance MPU Problem
DarkSide:
Ill be more than happy to pay for shipping.
Cant measure that coil, guess it needs something special, when the drop targets pop up, should the solenoid not turn off again, if the power keeps on it runs hot, very fast.
DarkSide:
Looks like i have a few faults in the decoder board, will repair that and hope ball dispenser, taca, and drop targets work.
Still no luck finding a AC-1405 solenoid.
DarkSide:
Was working under the playfield today, and saw something funny, there was a Williams coil on one of the Pop bumpers, so if its possible to use a Williams coil one place i would guess it also be possible some other place ?
smartbomb2084:
A coil is a coil regardless of manufacturer right?
The physical dimensions and the resisitance of the coil are what counts and you can use a coil with a different resistance as long as it is close to what you need.
Measure the resistance of the working coil that is on the other drop target bank.
There used to be people around who custom made coils. I once had two made for a BALLY ABC EM Bowler but that was back in 1990 when WICO was still around.
I know he can be a bear to deal with but I would give Steve Young a call at Pinball Resource, he is pretty good at finding obselete parts. It can't hurt to try.

take a look here. your model is not listed, but info is given on how to match them up. there's also the email for the compiler, I bet he is knowledgable. You just need to A) find the right guy that knows what replacement coil will work, or B) measure it as noted by PBJ and smartbomb.
