I am in the middle of nowhere and shipping costs are crazy, since I dont need anything at the moment but have a burnt out stepper unit coil (A-1496). Is there anything i can use as an alternative? I would replace it with a correct one when I order next but in the mean time?
Any advice would be great.....I have a bunch of coils so maybe there is something in the batch.

Thanks,
Rob

I feel like I remember that being the coil on the slingshots of one of my gottlieb games. If it's that bad any spare coil around 4 ohms should be good enough to last until you make an order
