Gottlieb Street Fighter II Right Flipper Keeps Blowing Fuses.

Hi all. I've had this Street Fighter II Pin sitting in the shed for about 2 years and thought it was time to move it to my arcade room.

Bought it and cleaned it up. Only problem i have was the right main flipper kept on chattering.
So i bought a new coil and eos. installed it but now it keeps blowing fuses. I wired it up exactly how it was, but i must have done something wrong.

Anyone out there got this pin? A picture of the flipper coil would be handy so i could compare it to mine. To me is seems to have to many wires going to it.

Left hand side has 3 wires
Middle has 1 wire
Right has 2 wires

Is that right? What else could be causing it to blow fuses?

iirc it should be 2, 1, 2...but you should be able to check by looking at the other flipper and the schematic

maybe take a pic and post it?

Thanks for the quick reply KidVidiot.

You mislabeled your pictures, yes? What kind of coil did you install and where did you get it? It doesn't look like the gottlieb coil that should be on there. The manual will tell you what color wires should be going where (the colors will be coded as 3 digit numbers...there's a key in the manual) so figure out which of the 3 shouldn't be there and where it should be instead...
 
No worries, thanks for your help. Yes i did label them wrong, whoops, my bad.
Got the coil from http://www.pinball.co. Matched it with the coil i replaced which was a GOTTLIEB FLIPPER COIL A-29876.

But after having a look through the manual it says it uses a GOTTLIEB FLIPPER COIL A-25959, for the main flippers. It must have been changed before i bought it.

Will order and replace both coils to what that manual says. Now all i have to do is work out what cable goes where.

Thanks for your help.
