Coil replacement question

I need to order some new coils and the coils on the left side of the pin are different then the right side of the pin. So what I'm trying to figure out is what exactly the coil numbers printed on the coils actually mean.

I'll post exact coil numbers in a little bit.

Thanks in advance.

Examples using slingshots. R=right L=left


Bottom slingshots:
L = A-25-1050
R = AE-25-1000


Top slingshots:
L= A-25-1050
R= AO-25-950
 
Allright, was able to find info on what the numbers mean...not sure why that info was so elusive to my searching abilities earlier.

So should I go with a Williams/Bally AE-25-1000 Coil for all the slingshots instead of the mixed strengths being used?


BTW these coils are for a Truck Stop pin.

According to the manual, all four slingshots use the same coil......a Midway #A365-00067-0029. I can't find what this coil actually crosses to....Do any of the four coils have this number also printed on it? If so, that's the size you need for all four.

That was one of the problems I was having, none of the coils in this pin match up to the manual. The only #'s on the slingshot coils are the ones I posted.

They all hit pretty weak so I figured I'd just go ahead and swap them out to a fully matched set instead of just doing the sleeves.
 
I see solenoid #1 uses the same coil...manual calls it "left kicker (truck stop)". What's it got under it?

OK, I just dug out my Midway/Bally parts catalog.....

Midway #A365-00067-0029.....crosses to a Bally A25-1050.
