I was able to take these, but not label them.
Hope they are a little better.
Quoted from GRUMPY:Page 59 of the manual shows that blue/yellow and blue/violet wires go to the right flipper. Blue/grey goes to the left flipper. Page 29 shows the white /violet wires go to the left and right lane change switch. The green/ grey wire goes to the left lane change switch. All of these wires are direction sensitive and if connected incorrectly can cause damage to something. Would be better for you to start with pics of one flipper assembly and put numbers on the terminals. And I can tell you which wire goes to which terminal.
Quoted from GRUMPY:The green coil is for the upper flipper. The blue coil is correct for the lower coil. I only see one diode on the green coil right now, a second diode must be added before using it. So lets start with your last pic, this is the right flipper. The lug with no wire on it (bottom lug in the pic) gets the blue/yellow wire. The top lug gets the blue/purple wire. Now for the lane change switch (switch closest to the return spring) both green/red wires connect to the leaf nearest the led bulb. The last wire for the lane change switch is the white/purple and it connects to the leaf where the diode connects just underneath the white cable tie is. This should fix the right flipper. When you change the green coil out for the correct blue coil I will help you with that then.
thank you for the info. I was able to hook up the right flipper, with your help. I also got the left flipper working by doing what i did with the right flipper and looking at the schematics to make sure it was correct. The game is going to be used in league play this weekend, so i didnt have time to wait for the correct coil to come in. It will be changed out when the part arrives. It is a very nice example of the game, with clear flashers in the back and the tomcat flashers wired as originally intended. The inserts are in pretty good shape, with no lifting. All of the plastics are in good shape with none broken.
