So I had some weak coils, and bought replacements from pinball life. I replaced the launcher yesterday, as it couldnt make it all the way up the ramp. I just pulled the new coil out of the package, matched the wires to the old, and bolted it in, as I got a complete assembly. After I fired it up, the first shot launched fine, the second I noticed a pop bumper went with it, then the launcher coil fired and stayed out. I shut the machine off immediately. The new coil was pretty hot, and I noticed it did not have a diode on it. I transferred the diode from the old coil to the new, and there was no change, as soon as I turned the game on, the launcher coil shot out and stayed out.
So my question is, before I burn up anything else trying to fix it, where should I go from here? If anyone local wants to earn a few extra $$ and take a look at it, im hiding from the office today, and can pay in either parts or cash.
