Title: 1947 Buckley Long Shot Machine Coil
Post by: Terrys on April 28, 2016, 01:26:36 PM

i have this machine and the coil fried.  I can't seem to find a coil for it.  There is 28 volts going into the coil.  It's used to hold down a switch during game play.  Does anyone even have 28 volt coils?  Any advice would be great! 


It appears to be a 15 amp coil.  From top of magnet to bottom of base, it measures one inch.

Your best bet would be to post a picture if you can. Sometimes those old parts were used on multiple machines.  :yes:

Is there any info still on the wrapper around the coil.
Coils are usually measured by wire size and number of winding, 26/300

Thanks for helping. I am guessing it fried because it's a 15 amp on a 20 amp fuse?

What are the numbers on the paper wrapper on the coil?

Only legible thing on paper is "#29". And 15 is printed on the base

The coil does not look burnt, what makes you think it's bad?
Did you put a meter on it?

Yep.  Put a meter to it, nothing.  Plus I saw a bit of smoke come off it just as it died.

Figured out that the coil was used to keep the play field lights on while the 2 minute timer ran.  Someone removed the timer so it stayed engaged all the time.  I'm thinking that caused the burnout.  So I just bypassed the coil and wired the lights to stay on all the time.  Runs like a champ now.  Thanks all for your input!

Can you post a pick of your machine? Sounds like an interesting machine.
