Ok so im working on a 76 Space Odyssey.
I put in new flipper coils and a new EOS on the left side.
Both flipper coils are wired the same and Ive double checked they are wired correctly.

The right Flipper works as expected.

The Left Flipper fires but then when the EOS switch opens the coil goes dead.
The EOS switch then closes (because the coil goes dead) and then fires again.
This creates a flutter situation.

Ive resoldered the wires to be double sure theres a good connection

The only thing i can think is that the low voltage circuit in the coil is bad.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
--Jeff

EDIT SOLUTION -- bad coil

Quoted from SteveFury:

That's a pretty PF by the way.

Thanks Steve. Ill post some before pics in another thread when its done. It was a complete mess but shined up real nice. The only part im annoyed by is the flipper wear but i may go after that after its completely working and together.
