Yes. It should have two oriented like the other coil.

Quoted from Homepin:1N4004 or 1N4007. Buy 100pcs as these are used everywhere and are dirt cheap.
The missing diode will have no effect on the power of the coil but it will prevent damage to the electronics in your machine.
Cut the diodes off your WPC flipper coils and see if they noodle...
Quoted from jp1985:Swamp eject #45 errors after a dozen games without seeing any ball not eject, possibly related?
No. You have a switch that isn't registering in the swamp.
Quoted from LTG:Nylon bushing the flipper shaft rides in. Not usually included in rebuild kits.
LTG : )
This one does.
OK, in your new pic if the bands on the diodes are facing right, the coil is wired correctly.
You should measure from ground to each coil lug 50-70 volts...whatever is correct, check the left flipper to verify.
Now if you connect a jumper from ground and quickly tap it on the coil lug with BLU/VIO wire (center lug), you should get a strong flip fire. Perform same test on left flipper to verify.
DO NOT leave the jumper connected for more than 1 second (just a quick tap).
Caution: it may emit a few sparks at contact, so don't have your face too close (wear eye protection).
NOTE: If this is the original coil that you have added the diode back, the other diode may be bad and in need of replacement.
