Quoted from fxdwg:bwaaahahhaaaaa, this is what I was thinking the entire time I was reading this thread. all this talk of knockers... I love all shapes and sizes of knockers... I also love loud knockers and quiet knockers too, they just aren't as much fun... thanks gac, made my morning!
"What knockers"!
"Why, thank you doctor".
Quoted from JethroP:Still doesn't explain to me why DC vs AC for louder knocker. I think I get what Tim Arnold is saying...make sure the assembly is tight to the cabinet, and remove 20% of the windings so the coil acts stronger, right? But the OP says convert to DC. That part I don't understand the theory. Is it because the full wave rectified voltage is higher than the AC RMS voltage and therefore produces stronger coil energy?
Yes.
Quoted from JethroP:So I have an all original 1966 game, Bazaar, with this "gentle" knocker. Would it be a sin to replace it with a newer style that wakes up the dead? I mean, I get a thrill when I hear a loud knock....like I really won something. Or should I just accept it as the way it was back in 1966?
You mean you want to subject your "Bazaar" to a knocker enhancement procedure?
Quoted from HowardR:If you replace the coil, you'll want to use another 50 volt coil

Not my quote. How did that happen?
