Opto options

[Cryptkeeper]

I need an opto for that lost world I picked up. Part of the snagger control circuit.
It's a 4 legged slotted type.
Can't find the exact one from the part number so what do I need to look out for on an equivalent?
Thanks!

Is it a QVE11233.0086 ?

If so, your SOL That was a custom made part for Williams which has a higher sensitivity than any other 'normal' opto you can find these days
Lots of people may sell replacement four leg opto couplers, but without modification these won't sink the same current that the original Williams part did. It could lead to 'fluttering' on the switch

In some cases, you may get away with the fluttering not causing any major issues.

Are you sure the opto is dead? Finding a replacement (original) board may be easier than sourcing an (original) replacement opto coupler

If it's SEGA or Data East parts you're after then it's me, pinballdaze!

Pinballdaze to the rescue
The down opto is sending a closed signel intermittently. I could bang on the pf and it would fire. But it's fine atm but I'll pick up a spare board anyeay
