Hi,
from what I've read it would seem like it would be possible and not-damaging to do this as long as you add a diode like on SS or DMD games, but would it be practically feasible to drive non-holding Gottlieb EM coils with 24V DC power (as opposed to the normal 28V AC).
Cheers!
Phil
Thank you sir.
Also since DC gives more kick I figure going down 4V from 28V AC to 24V DC should be ok?
Hey I'm not saying I want to modify my EM, I want to drive EM coils with DC power for a different application, so I do want to use diodes.
