rebuilt the flipper mechs but the coils that are in there seem really small and I want the game even faster. Can I put more powerful coil in and does anyone know which ones i should move to? I dont have the part number of whats in there now so I am reluctant to call steve young for advice

I would be very hesitant to put anything more powerful than what is supposed to be stock since you would risk breaking drop targets and plastics.

The manual should list what coils are supposed to be in the game. If you don't have the manual, you can email/call PBR.

i hear you but I dont think there's too much risk as I will be jacking that baby up nice and steep. on the genesis there's a bank of three drops right in front of the very powerful flippers that took a pounding. the force the back wall of targets on city of gold is taking is less than half

stock is a-17875. A stronger coil is 24161. ordered them and replaced them in city of gold and volcano. they work great. thanks to jimmy at pbr.
