zizzle toy pinball machines
ChadTower:
I don't know for sure but I doubt it is either. They're both too big for the size of that playfield.

They're obviously not real pinball coils, just cheap toy solenoids.
ChadTower:
Could you explain the difference, then? A solenoid is a solenoid. A pinball coil is a solenoid.

The difference is in the amount of force the coil is able to generate. In addition, flipper coils are actually two coils: a more powerful (50 volt) coil for the initial kick, and a less-powerful (25 volt) coil to hold the flipper in place (to keep from burning out the larger coil); an end-of-stroke switch changes from one coil to the other.
I think it's likely that the solenoids driving the bumpers, slings and flippers are 12v or smaller:

I played on at Sears. The flippers did feel really weak, the play was pretty slow and boring.
