Have some questions about a Whirlwind left flipper. Here's what is known:

1) Left flipper doesn't flip up.
2) It does have hold power.
3) If it has hold power, I'm assuming the fuse is good.
4) Should I swap in a new coil and see if all is restored and then move up to the board for a possible transistor issue?
5) Anyone know off the top of their head which transistor it might be?

Thanks-
Mike

I appreciate all the help. Swapped in a new coil and all is good.

Quoted from Blake:

To go along with this. I've highlighted all possible areas of concern. Rule out the quick problems first.
- power at coil
- EOS continuity
- cabinet switch continuity
Then wiring/connectors if necessary.
