Hi all, I own a '76 Gottlieb Surfer and am wondering if it's possible to remove the shown coil (right circled)? It appears to be energized the entire game and makes an annoying buzzing sound. I also noticed that a game-ending switch on the cash door (left circled), when pried opened, de-energizes this coil and ends the entire game. I'm wondering if these two connected assemblies can be removed? Thanks in advance for your help!!!

Great answers; thank you both!! I never considered how this would affect selling the machine as the entire cash box assembly was missing when I bought it, but it makes total sense. Thanks for the instructions on how to do this as well; much appreciated!

I only mentioned the slam switch because I know it's tied to the coin door lockout (as per my original post) and thought I may have to do something to it as well in order to disable the coin lockout coil.

Thanks all for all your insights! I'm new to pinball ownership and it's great to see such a supportive group of enthusiasts take the time to help a newbie out! Stormtrooper Runbikeskilee KenLayton

Have a few other mysteries to solve, so stay tuned! LOL.
