im surprised you didn't short out the switch matrix with the original problems
from flipperwiki ...
Flipper Coil Gets Very Hot...
On pre-Deger (Time Machine and before) flippers, check the EOS switch to make sure it is adjusted properely (1/8" gap at full flipper extension), and that the contacts are clean and filed. If the coil is getting hot, this means the EOS switch is not opening, or the EOS switch capacitor has shorted on.
I would also still check the other switches in that row/column of the matrix. Make sure they are being detected as closed when activated in test. If you did short something, just testing to see all the switches as open wouldn't necessarily tell you if you have a problem. I would still really recommend tracing back to the board and the related components to make sure nothing is damaged and needs replaced there.
