Williams River Boat from '64
Dumb question, perhaps...but I'm sure you all know:
Can a coil be "a little bit bad"? I'm having more & more issues with wonky score wheels: they just get hung up and don't advance. I've cleaned them, adjusted contacts, etc., but I'm still having issues. Wheels that were great yesterday are wonky today.
My experience with electrical circuits is that coils are either good or open...quite binary. But in a pinball machine, can these be "old & weak"? Could my issue(s) be as simple as worn out coils? I wouldn't think so, but I'm new to all of this. (not at all new to electrical circuits, though...)
Also, of the 4, I notice that 2 are original Williams coils with part numbers, while 2 appear to be replacements...
Thoughts?
