    This is for a transistor for the Ni-Wumpf System 1 Driver Board, which has the A14 as stock; I have the A13 on hand. A good A14 on the board has the same readings for the multimeter diode test as the A13.

    For background, the title is Gottlieb's Count-Down, and the yellow drop target solenoid is not working, with the transistor on the playfield controlling this solenoid being blown out - and now replaced, although the solenoid is still not working. I surmise that there was a blow out for both the playfield transistor and the transistor on the driver board. The transistor on the driver board reads the 0.7 but not the 1.3, whereas the others on the driver board give the proper reading of 1.3 & 0.7 as they should. The other solenoids that are controlled by the same chip work fine (whew!), so it seems that all I need to do is to replace this transistor on the driver board.

    I would prefer to use the A13 that I have on hand rather than wait & pay for an A14.
