I am designing a pinball from a 1974 EM game called Amigo. The flippers I purchased had SFL19/400 30/750 coils in them. They were not powerful enough to propel the pinball through the spinner on the left side of the playfield up through the rollover wire to the top of the playfield. Marco's recommended FL 11629 (blue) coils. Plenty powerful, I am concerned that it is too fast for the playfield as at times it jumps up two or three inches when it hits a post every once in a while. So my question is, what coil should I have in this design so I don't damage components and break the glass. Thanks in advance.IMG_8902.JPGIMG_8902.JPG

Thanks Chrisbee. I will be using Baltic plywood for the finished playfield with all the graphics, but for now, we need to get everything programed. We are using the old scoring reels which are a lot of fun to operate and let you know when you score. The ball trough is over 40 years old and work fine.
