More info?)
If you're finding the whole assemblies then they should come with bushings
already installed. You might check to see what EOS switches they have, if
any. You'd need the older high-current 03-7811 type (1 for each flipper).
And change out the coils to the SFL-19-400... type. And install NOS white
Williams flipper bats/shafts with "W" logo. And flipper rubber rings.
Yes- we have all the above in stock- hope we can help "fix" your game!
Great upgrade!
