I purchased a new coil this week from PBR. It’s a Gottlieb A-9736 which is a replacement for the R20-5. I installed it tonight and noticed there isn’t any space between the coil and the actuating plate. Without the space the plate can’t move the switches. I measured the two posts that stick out of the coil and found they stick out too far. Is there anyway to fix this or do I need to get another one?

I didn’t notice that until you pointed it out. Another difference between coils. The coil is attached to the bracket with a brass screw. The hole for the screw is only on one side so there isn’t any way to install it backwards. Although if anyone can I’m game.

Thanks for the response. I’m not sure exactly what I’m supposed to bend. After I remove the coil do I bend the part that the coil screws into or the stop on the other side?

I bent the arm that attaches the coil to the bracket. It bent easily and I have good clearance and switch movement. Thanks for all the help.
