Replace the coil but it will go again.My magnet coil is dead. Looks like since before I got it. Anyone know if I can just change the thermal switch?
Or do I need to replace the coil too.
@Pick HolderReplace the coil but it will go again.
In some instances the mosfet on the main board will also need changing (ie if you turn on the game and straight away (or after it boots) the magnet activates.....
The official line at Pinball Heaven is leave it disconnected until we know this error has been sorted in software.
It is one of the few coils that is not software controllable from the users point of view.
I can not understand it, bally williams used these type of coils and they never burnt out. Must be something to do with perhaps the PWM they are using.
@Pick Holder
If the oficial line is disconnect it would that suggest that the second wave which is due soon will need to be disconnected to prevent any damage or will this error be fixed.
be nice to know before we all switch them on i guess.

So if we have a machine from them batches should we be taking precaution? Not had any problems yet.I can not comment on machines that have not landed. I am going by the machines on the first and second shipment months ago.
Yeah jppautomotive is Martin, you can find his phone number on facebook search for retro logistics give him a call.Well GnR LE 3778 has finally landed for what has seemed like and eternity to wait. Been without a pin since December and damn its felt longer
It’s being delivered by Martin the email says Jppautomotive anyone know who this is. It’s not The Martin is it. Anyone have a number for them ? I want to arrange delivery and don’t seem to have any response to my emails !
Thanks for confirming thought it might be the case but email didn’t add upYeah jppautomotive is Martin, you can find his phone number on facebook search for retro logistics give him a call.
yup - total joke. Although its really 50 std editions because half the game is missing.5,000 LE’s and a few 100 std editions
Just had conf that mine is landing by Hadfield's on Monday. Seems like an eternity.Thanks for confirming thought it might be the case but email didn’t add up
Got Martin’s number and he’s been to mine before so will give him a call.
At a guess, at least 300 machines made it here to the uk?
I’d say even Neil’s guess is over150-200 surely !
I predict two years from now they will be exchanging hands for 5K owing to the fact there are so many of them here.

@Paul can you do a, just p1ssed myself laughing emoji mate?
75 sold they are rarely seen on the second hand market not like most stern gamesI didn't see him say anything but the 50 is the right ball park. I predict two years from now they will be exchanging hands for 5K owing to the fact there are so many of them here.
