Wow! 52 days until the last post. Does Firepower not get any love?

I have an issue with the right flipper. The fillper slowly moves when you press and hold in the button. You can slowly watch it move and it is definitly too weak to hit the ball.

The EOS switches, wireing and etc. all look good so I started taking some Ohm readings of the left and right Flipper coils. The flipper coil that is working properly reads 1.3 Ohms. The coil that is not working correctly reads 25.1 Ohms. The strange thing when I looked up what these coils should read has a huge variance. According to Flippers.com this coil should read anywhere from .7 to 25 which seems like a really big difference. Any ideas of what could be going on with the weak flipper?

Coil Number Manufacturer Size Resistance in OHMs AWG Wire
SFL19-400/30-750 WILLIAMS LARGE 0.7/25 19/30

Quoted from BorgDog:

.7 is the main (power) winding, 25 is the hold winding. sounds like your right coil is just running the hold winding.

Thank you for clearing that up. I will double check my readings again and swap out the coil.
