Can someone check their MM PacMan for a wiring check of the upper right flipper (see pics)? I replaced this coil about 3 weeks ago, and tonight while playing it the coil got so hot that you could smell the electical wiring of the coil starting to fry, and it was very very hot to the touch. In the pics there is a black mark on a red wire, this was me marking that wire for resoldering purposes. The last coil started making a horrendous humming sound, hence the reason for changing it out. Could there be an underlying secondary problem? Also, when the right flipper button is pressed the lights dim slightly, but I just attributed that to having two flippers on the right side, and the age of the game. It has done that for as long as I can remember. I have had the game over ten years.
Thanks,
Gary
EDIT: And will it be necessary to replace the coil again, due to the heat? The shaft connected to the flipper was hot enough to burn when touched. This coil was replaced by number identification from the original.
