In case you googled "Theatre of Magic trapdoor issues" and found this thread, Allow me to assure you that:
- if you had a broken coil stop under the trapdoor
- and replaced it with the excellent Mantis replcement part
- and then found that the coil wasn't strong enough to raise the trapdoor
...then I'm happy to confirm what others have reported: upgrading the trapdoor raise coil from A-20099 to a yellow flipper coil (FL-11753 or A-15943) solved it. I don't think it's necessary to clip out the diodes in the replacement coil but I did while troubleshooting a separate problem after reassembly. (I forgot during reassembly that the trapdoor eject popper needs two springs, not just one.)
