Hi still very new to solid state games. Picked up my first pascal board. Re pinned all connectors, checked switches and coils but I missed the stupid knocker coil. It was dead. Replaced the coil. Display reads "coil locked on danger". Checked the transistor Q1 and i'm getting 1.7 v from base to emitter and 0 from base to collector, or maybe it was the other way around, not sure. His sight says it should be .5 to .7v. I must have damaged it with the dead coil. Hopefully didnt hurt the board more.
His website wont let me send him a message. A message comes up saying something about abuse of support feature and the message wont go thru. Anybody have any input. Thank you

He has great support maybe you have an ad-blocker or other browser extension that is interfering with his spam prevention.

Q1 looks easy to replace if you have the parts and tools.

He never got in touch me. Tried on different servers and computers. No Idea why no response from him.
