Were you just getting a open circuit across it when you tested with the diode removed from circuit? Or did one of the lugs get messed up or something?

Quoted from HighVoltage:The whole mech was removed and lying in the cabinet when I got that Sopranos machine. So it went bad before I got the machine, and yeah, it was open with the diode removed. I jumpered control lines for the inoperable flap from the board to the working flap, and it activated fine in test, so transistor is good. Makes me wonder what damaged the coil, didn't have obvious sign of melting.
Huh, interesting. That 32g wire is pretty thin.. sudden short sending a lotta current could pop that in a hurry I would think, before anything melted. Not sure what would have caused that short though.. maybe someone shorted across the lugs with the game on when working on it or something..
