DE Star Wars Solenoid Burning

Where you're buying the transistor and diode from should have the resistor. If all else fails, I've found this Ebay seller pretty good for bits and bobs;

This is a nice simple mech to work on, and if you do get confused refer to the Knocker as they're the same :D

Edit. Just found some in my spares, PM me your address and I'll post you some :thumbs:

Well tonight I decided to get to work. All parts required in hand thanks to eBay and @pinballmania

I replaced Q1, Q2, R19, R18, D21 and D20 plus the Solenoid. The reason I decided to replace Q2 as well was after testing multiple times the resistor at R18 was reading bad and I wasn't taking any chances.

...All working again!

Thank you all for your help. I've included some photos below :cool:

edit forgot to add the board cleaned up pretty good with some isopropyl alcohol as suggested.
