Quoted from toyotaboy:I don't see replacements anywhere.. not even ministry of pinball. This blog talks about testing the moon:

I'd say I'd pop mine open, measure, 3d model and 3d print a replacement, but the crater texture on the outside is going to be a pain to recreate.
I just purchased the game the other day
Should have gone thru it more before playing it for a awhile. Seller stated moon was melted but I didn't realize coil was locked on still should have checked.... Lesson Learned!
Since then, I have repaired the circuit for the moon and ordered new mag coil. The circuit is a very poor design, it goes thru the segment display board than to the aux driver than to the coil.
A VERY IMPORTANT THING TO NOTE IS THAT IF THE BLUE/WHITE WIRE ON J2 DOES NOT MAKE CONTACT THE MOON WILL LOCK ON. J2 USES A IDC CONNECTOR AND VIBRATIONS CAN AND WILL LOOSEN THIS WIRE OVER TIME!!!!!!!
To repair the circuit I had to fix the following (note this also repaired the 7 segment countdown display):
Bad components on 7 Segment Display Board:
------------------------------------------------------------
U2 - 74LS273 (if your moon works fine but countdown LED display does not replace this chip)
Q4 - 2n3906
Q5 - 2n3904
Q6 - 2n3904
Replace J2 IDC connector with molex connector.
Bad components on Moon Aux Board
-------------------------------------------------------------
Q3 - 20n10L replaced with IRL540 (NOT IRF540!!!!)
D10 - 1n4004
Quoted from toyotaboy:I forget Lloyd sells stuff, nice find.. I'd JUMP on that
i messaged them last week no reply are they open?
