If you do post in the wrong section we can move the post around, no biggie, but it does drive us nuts when someone posts the same question in multiple spots and worse when you start getting replies in multiple spots and we start having to split and stich threads together.....
To Tilts point the coils do tend to get burnt out as they are held back when the machine is ready to accept coins and release when its necessary to reject. So basically if the machine is on and awaiting coins that solenoid is powered up. It really should be the other way around, as its a waste of energy. I guess its faster for a spring to pull back the diverter quickly than to get a fast solenoid. Anyways - many people disconnect them and wire tie the diverter in place.
