New to the club, stomping out all the bugs on a game that came in as a major project. I thought I had it playing 100% but I just noticed a potential issue:
If the game ends with the STEP gate (at the left outlane) activated, it remains activated after game over and through attract mode, only deactivating when you start the next game. I probably wouldn't have noticed with the glass on, but, with it off, I heard the buzzing coil. So it's not mechanical or magnetized, the coil is activated.
Is this normal behavior?
Is it related to my old L-2 roms? (new ROMS coming soon)

Thanks for the insight, guys. I’m glad I didn’t spend too much time chasing that down. I know it’s a low resistance coil but I still find it odd that it could potentially be activated for hours between games. I guess coin door lockout coils have to do it but I usually disconnect those.
I’ve had success quieting down buzzing coils/relays like this by polishing the plate that gets pulled against the relay, maybe I’ll give that a try here.
Thanks.
