Did I totally miss read this last night? 23-800 is more powerful?

23-800 is less "powerful" than 23-700, as more turns of same gauge wire, so more resistance, so less current drawn.

 

[RudeDogg1]

Ah ok I didn’t read it wrong then ha

 

[astyy]

They might supposed to be 23-800 per the manual.

I don’t think so most the coils are the same ones

Did Black Beast coils come standard in Data East games? I have these coils in my DESW. I read a post on another forum about them being very aggressive coils and can be harmful to your game? (prone to breaking plastics / targets etc) I’d never heard of them as I’ve never owned a DE game until recently. What’s the history with ‘Black Beast’?

Interesting, 23-800 is common and the POTO manual cites it for nearly all of the mech coils. The manual could be wrong, or your machine fitted with different at/after the factory for some reason like the production line ran out of the correct ones on the day!

I'd say so, my Hook is full of them and my box of Checkpoint spares too. Dunno why they'd be thought of more aggressive though if the correct one is fitted.

As the sling mechs seem to be missing from the online manual. I did abit of digging and a couple us suppliers that sell the complete mech are using 23-800 so I should be ok to just use one of my spares then

More than likely operator switches I may change the other sling to 23-800 so they match
