I picked up this Bally Kings of steel two weeks ago and have sorted out all the problems but one...... The right flipper is not working correctly. I have a new eos switch, new cab switch, alltek SDB, also a new coil installed but I'm almost positive I have it wired incorrectly. I changed out a bunch of caps on the sound board and brought it back from the dead no problem.....so why is it I can never solve the easy stuff? Help me look as dumb as I feel and tell me how I wired this wrong?

It is bare wire and I have yet to fix that but that is not grounding.

Ohms on left coil 3.2 (working double flipper) ohms on right coil 295 (single coil) lol.

The flipper is not working. I know I have hold power as I can hear the coil energise and while holding the flipper button and manually plunging the the plunger it will hold on it's own when it hits the coil stop. The plunger releases when I depress the flipper button.

That imeaditaly blows a fuse when the flipper button is pressed.

I did nothing to the eos switch. Mearly change the brown wire on coil lugs.

Yes I am positive that the wire I re soldered is not touching the middle lug (double checked) I am positive there are no bare wires touching the flipper frame or any part of the mech. This is a brand new coil and I doubt there is a diode issue although I am more than happy to stop and check although the last coil showed the previous symptoms. Lastly the fuse blew imeaditaly when I pressed the flipper button. That's all for now. I have the day off tomorrow and am open to all suggestions but tonight it's off to bed.

When the eos is closed it reads around 114 ohms when the eos is held open it reads 295.5ish ohms. How sure are you that the wire configuration is correct? The reason I ask is....I went back through to tripple check nothing was shorting and resoldered the 3 brown wires to the far right lug put in a new fuse and started her up, pressed the flipper button and a spark came from that lug completely blowing off all 3 brown wires. The fuse was not blown and the game was still on so I pressed the flipper button with that lug completely disconnected and the flipper worked. Lol.

One or both of the diodes on that coil must have been fried. I pulled the coil, put on new diodes, resoldered lugs, and checked resistance. Everything checked out so I fired her up.......and boom goes the dynamite, working like a champ. Thank you for the help and making me look as dumb as I felt when I could not figure it out!

May want to start your own thread. Does the coil fire when you ground the far right tab?
