    Thought my upper right flipper has been a little weak as it 'barely' makes the ramp.

    Weird, shouldn't the flipper coil be sideways? NOPE easier fix than just rotating the coil to the side...

    P.S. Yes i know i am also missing the capacitor.

    Quoted from schudel5:

    Working on a TFTC for someone and came across this 'transistor bridge'. Surprisingly it works

    That is pretty unreal. Def the most involved hack i've ever seen.

    Begs the question though, this seems like with the time invested and chance for failure why they didn't just buy a new board? This looks like it would have been a lot of work matching up which traces where etc... jeez. Good macgyver though, real good.
