I’m trying to save a Data East Hook.

Wondering if I can use a 090-5001-01 (23-800) in place of a 090-5005-00 (23-840.)

Thanks all.

It will be a little stronger. Yes you can.

23 is the gauge of wire. 800 or 840 number of turns. Less turns makes it stronger.

I thought more turns in a given length increased the strength of the magnetic field?

Not in pinball coils.

Less turns stronger more turns weaker.
