I don't fully understand your problem.

There should be a connector, A10J3 and A10P3, a two round pin type. I would guess the wire size to be 20 gauge associated with this connector.

I am guessing they lost the connector associated with the knocker coil and now you need to run some wires after you cut off the existing connector to your new coil. Look around in the bottom of the machine for the connector with two dangling wires, usually you find this stuff in the bottom under the head.

You have got to be be careful that you wire the new coil correctly according to the diode polarity. It easy to get it backwards in your situation.

The only wires necessary to fix system 80 are the two wires
from the detonator to the explosive charge.

Copper stranded wire, take a piece with to the hardware store and get the same size.

Not rocket science here, most anything except telephone wire will work.

The early system80 games were some of the most innovative and complex (Haunted House) pins of thier time, not mention just plain damn fun to play!!!!! So long as you do the basic ground mods to these systems they are as good as any.

Sorry Jack, i wus just trying to be funny!

I got a chuckle out of that one.
But, I'm diggin' the 80B games these days.
I'll have my TX-Sector, Genesis, and RoboWar all in a row soon.
I'd love to add a Lights, Camera, Action (System 3 with an 80B display) to the lineup.

Me too, just thought I'd put it out there!

Genesis is a good game. I traded the game I am currently working on to someone a while go and he traded to someone else but the sound went out. Not a Gottlieb problem, but a problem with moving the game on the side. This game boots solid every time, has great sound and great play. The displays are nice, as are all of the 80B games. Never have seen a bad display on an 80B.

I love the Bach Toccata and Fugue when you have the opportunity to expose the robot lady under the playfield.

I take back good game, I mean great game, solid performance, reliability and game play. Probably one of the best buys for your money today. I want another one.

OP: The wire with the red stripes goes to the coil lug that is associated with the stripped diode end. The wire with the gray/black stripe goes to the opposite coil lug.

Another option when the wire gauge is not printed on the insulation is to use a wire gauge tool or a table as is here:

That definitely gave me a good laugh. I know I have felt that way before when I was in the middle working on one of mine!
