Please can someone help? What the difference in coil size?

Go for it. It's only for a reset bank.

Yours will be less powerfull.
So marginal, best just put it in and try it. It will work.

So ideally what your saying is put back like for like (as long as someone's not put the wrong one in previously?) but this is slightly less powerful so should be ok? but try it!

I have alot of NOS Black Beast coils. I don't have that one though. Please report back on its operation (sound a bit like Sgt Grizz there....soldier)
Check manual if you can. 840 turns of coil winding instead of 800 is less powerfull.
Still too small to make a difference.

The 090- bit is the DE part number.
The 23-800 is the wire gauge and number of turns in the coil winding/bobbin.
Other variations are for diode, bobbin length and tab position.

So would it be possible to shorten an 840 by 40, then re solder turns to make it an 800?
It is possible.
Be warned with flipper coils as it's not that easy due to manufacture.

If you were so inclined you could unwind 40 turns from the 840 coil to make them equivalent. But I wouldn't bother they are very close anyway only 5% longer wire to increase Resistance similarly which would reduce the drawn Current (=Pull) by similar factor again (Ohms Law is your friend here). The difference in Resistance on the Marco coils appears wrong to me, according to this site 23-800 coils are over 4 Ohms https://www.flippers.com/coil-resistance.html
If you really want 23-800 I have some here on my old mech spares. Don'f forget these have a diode I'd probably use a new one on a 2nd hand coil.
Thanks guys
been back through the ever growing spares and have located 3 suitable candidates all AE-23-800-03, checked the manual and it's says 23-800-coil so going to fit one of these 
Thanks again for your help
Ta Tony
its for reseting drop targets so basically anything would do
