Dear Lloyd,


I own a Scared Stiff pinball machine and just had a wierd issue.


I played for couple of hour and noticed that the Crate pin did not lower when it should be lowered,

Its a Coil FL-11629/50V and when i was touching it,

it was sure very hot and after a while you could not hold it anymore.


When its cool there is no problem, what should i do?


Replace the Coil?

Dear Dutchman


Only things I can think of - binding and not working smooth. Or it's drive transistor leaking and leaving it powered.
