Hi there. I have a side-hustle working on pinball machines, but occasional get asked to look at bowlers. I have a client with a Bally ABC Deluxe shuffle bowler. It seems like the coin relay is bad in the ten relay bank. The part number is C-2342-110, which is no longer available. According to the wrapper on the coil, the label behind the relay, and the manual I found online, it's a 2400 ohm coil (yes, I know it sounds crazy and is probably wrong).

I contacted Pinball Resource for a possible substitute. They have a copy of the manual that claims it to be a 740 ohm coil and recommended a 400 ohm part as a replacement. I'm fine with this if it will work, but I don't know if could cause issues.
  1. Does anyone here have this game and able to test the resistance of the coil?
  2. How bad could it be to use the 400 ohm coil if the original really is 2400 ohms? I'm not sure what kind of damage is possible.
I asked in a Facebook group but I only got a couple responses saying things like, "Pinball Resource info is gospel/as good as it gets." That's all well and good, I'm not arguing, I just want to get it right (particularly since the game is nearly an hour away).

It also needs a coil stop for one of the relay bank reset coils and I couldn't find that part number in the manual, does anyone know what stop I'd need for coil E-184-106?

This is the manual I've been looking at, the relay in question is on page 28 of the file (actual page number 356): https://www.arcade-museum.com/manuals-arcade/Bally-ABC-Bowler-Congress-Bowler-Manual.pdf
