Have a general question about coil wiring. I'm finishing up my WH2O playfield swap and was checking out HEPs amazing gallery of WH2O restores to double check my wiring. It looks like on different restores he wired things to different lugs. For example in the 2 pictures below (from 2 different restores) if you check out the pop bumper coils in one he wired the purple/yellow wires (x2) to the left lugs and in the other he wired them to the right lugs. Does it matter which lug you use in general? I know wiring up the flipper coils wrong can cause damage, not sure about the rest of the games coils. Thanks in advance

It doesn't matter on the smaller coils .

On WPC games the diodes for the coils ( not including flippers or some odd three lug coils ) are on the power driver board.

So it doesn't matter which lug is used. Coil works the same either way.

If you have two wires the same color and stripe, they do need to stay together.
