Hey everyone, I replaced an eos on my Baby Pac's left flipper. But, I wasn't able to find an exact replacement, so I ordered a high current "tungsten" eos. However, it doesn't have a diode on it, and it only has 2 contacts on it. Now, when I play I can hear a hum when I activate the left flipper, and I've blown the 3 amp slow blow fuse on the power supply twice in a week.
Dokert has advised that I do in fact need a diode there, and while I don't question him, I'm curious as to how exactly it works on this Baby. When I compare it to the right side flipper, the part of the multi-layered leaf switch that controls the manual ball eject is the leaf switch with the diode, where the one without a diode is only attached to ground wires, and receives the spark. I also don't remember the leaf switch that I removed having a diode, so now I'm wondering if mine has in fact been wired wrong since I've had it.
Can someone confirm their setup?
Also, what kind of diode do I need. The manual doesn't say anything.
Thanks.
