Edit:

See this post: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/guidelines-for-coil-substitution#post-3741223 by cfh

Let me give another application of this... Early Dataeast games *love* to smoke the left lane kick back coil. The original is an 23-800 coil, and the pulse driving that coil is too long. The TIP driving transistor loves to bake, and the coil locks on, and burns. I go tired of replacing the coil/transistor on our Time Machine for example. So after a TIP replacement (which burned and shorted), i changed the coil to a 26-1200 (14 ohms). That's significantly less current draw, and i haven't had to deal with a burned coil since. Is the kick back less powerful? Yes it is. But it's still powerful enough to do it's job.

So the 27-1500 might be a little weak but could be worth a shot. I personally wouldn't do it, although they claim going up won't harm things at the risk of the feature not working (vs going down and burning the board).

That pops and reminds me of the Star Trek premium. Nice job!

Quoted from mannclay:

Hello Pinheads!
So, i purchased a Data East Star Wars machine that came with the pin2dmd color LED screen. The code was 1.02. I updated the code to 1.07 and after some time, the color is now off on the screen. Seems like some colors are not working.
Has any dealt with something like this with pin2dmd?

You have the latest code? https://vpuniverse.com/files/file/5503-star-wars-data-east-colorization/

Also check out the known issues - that might be listed, although the author doesn't list 1.07 as supported. Might want to reach out.
