    This is a single winding flipper coil and it is controlled by a flipper control board.

    More likely you have a fault on the flipper driver board.

    That's the board. Try and find another machine from the same era and swap the board to confirm if that is where the problem is.

    I wouldn't go replacing it. You could also send it away to one of the numerous repairers here and ask them to check it over.

    These are pretty simple to repair. It's being said in numerous other threads that you are FAR better repairing the original board rather than replacing it with a modern board.
