It's been a while since I've troubleshooted a pinball so bear with me. I'm helping out at the local arcade in my college town.

So far the hyperball has sound, G.I. lighting, ball loading motor running.

The problems which remain are the controlled playfield lighting does not turn on, and the ball shooter coil does not fire.

I read 120DC on one end of the coil. Shorting the other side to ground does not fire the coil. If I recall correctly this should work. Reading resistance on the coil both ways returns an open circuit. Forgive my ignorance but this means the coil is faulty. Correct? I'd hate to make the guy buy another one for no reason.

The logic boards have a good 5v. I'll try and tackle the light problem once I figure out the coil.
