Hello,

After a few months in storage I finally had room for setting up my beloved baywatch again.
But it is no longer working correctly.

The ball does not make it trough the " exit scoop" the coil kick the ball up but it does not reach the top of the bracket to enter the shooter lane. I had this sometimes before storage but now it never reach the top.
Everthing appeers to be assembelt correctly :-/

I did notice the coil is a data east coil # 090-5005-00
The manual say it must be 23-800

Would this be the problem?

Any suggestions are more then welcome,

Greetings from the netherlands,

Yeah, most of the time the coil is a 23-800.

You can try to clean the plunger and/or replace the coil sleeve.

Make sure the plunger is shooting the ball in the middle.
If it's off center, the're will be not enough power to get the ball on the playfield.
Sometimes it's enough to adjust the assembly by hand (force the assembly 1 or 2 mm to the left or right)

BW is a great game! So much to do and great animations! I was going to suggest what doc did. Keeping the sleeve clean is important and usually fixes these issues...coils rarely go bad so I am told. This fix should apply eleswhere to other coils too...except vleaning may not be enough, may need to replace the sleeve. They are inexpensive, relative to a coil anyway. Only one time it did not work for me. I instead had to reflow the soldr connections. One of them was stress cracked and full continuity was not achieved so the foil fired weak.

GL and again, BW is an aweome game!
