    I've never had any issues of any kind from high tapping a game. But I don't care too much for the yellow dots. Just too powerful. I put them on a Big Indian one time, those drops up at the very top seemed to be asking for them. I was getting glass at the top of the playfield, they were just too powerful. The orange dots are better but it will be a game by game decision on those.

    Quoted from StratDoc:

    Resurrecting this just for advice.
    I have been working on a Gottlieb Hot Shot. Everything working, but flippers even after rebuild weak - normal coils, proper EOS spacing, spring tension good. I decided to high tap the pin. What a world of difference. Flippers and slings not overpowering but certainly a much more enjoyable game. Prior to setting voltage to high tap I could barely get a ball to the top of the pf and the slings just bounced the ball between the two.
    I checked the schematics and no bulbs are on the right side/coil side of the schematics so am I safe to assume that all bulbs are running off 6v? I don't really see a difference in bulb brightness with high tap.

    If there are any on the 24v side they would have a resistor anyway. I would not worry about it. The only time this issue comes up is a 24v resistor bulb is specified and a 47 is used instead of a 44
