If I get 6.7 ohms on a coil that supposed to be 4.7 ohms, and It's wired in the game ( WMS Taxi ) , do I have to unsolder it to get an accuate reading? Or is this coil bad? Or other issues exist . SM-26-600-DC is the coil in question . Someone unwired this bell for a reason. Not sure why , hoping just to make it quiet and not a driver transistor or coil short issue . Kind of scared to power it back up until it tests ok.
Thanks ,

Yea, bell works !! I figured it was just faster to pull wires off than to use the Adjustment menu and disable it . Geez
