I have a problem with my Champion Pub. The boxer's arms won't move. The left arm was working until I tried to fix the right, now both don't work. Doh! I thought I would check the solenoid, problem is after the painstaking task of getting to it, the damn coils have their wires directly attached. I have no idea how to test the damn coils. I metered the wires and see there is no break. They are both connected to the Power Driver board so that is not the problem. The only thing I can think of is the coils themselves. What a pain. Even if I buy new coils, how the hell do I put them in? They must come with wires and I guess I splice it to the molex connector? Never seen this before.

Anyone fix one of these. My head hurts.

What was happening was one arm was moving in test mode. The left arm never moves. I had the game for about 3 weeks now and had to replace some wires for the switches on the boxer as most were broken. I have all the switches now registering and again only the one arm was working. I was thinking that one of the wires to the arm was broken as well but that does not seem to be the case. I was able to test the continuity to the connector and it was fine. I see no broken wire to the power board either. I put the coils back and now neither one fires up in test mode. I would assume if I blew a fuse initially both arms would not work. Since one was working the first this I thought to check was the wiring but since the wires are connected directing to the coil, that is not easy to do. I will go through the fuses and test the voltage to the connector. I don't see a switch in line with this coil. There are 2 black wires connected directly to each coil that runs into a connector. All this does is trigger the arm during a fight.

First off, thank you so much for trying to help me out.

Yes I do have a DMM. I checked the manual and the arms are Solenoid 11 & 13. These are passed thru F102. I pulled and checked this fuse and it's fine. meters out perfectly.

Where did you replace the wires? Did you cut it by the solenoid or more under the playfield?

I'll give that a try. I did unwrap the coils and tried to test continuity to the connector and it seemed ok. Then again, since there was no connections on the coil, It could easily have been crossed to the other wire. I will give it a shot. I know those wires all break from the boxer turning for the past 20 or so years.

Seems the right arm is now magically working. Unless I mixed up the coils when I put them back. I take it right arm refers to the actual boxer's right arm not my right. Strange thing is the left was working before. I think replacing the wires is a must.
