I'm working on a Bally "Flip Flop".
The playfield had been disassembled, and I'm putting it back together. Most of the posts are the taller type, but there are a few of the shorter type as well.
My question is, which are the correct posts under the short, white lane guides on either side of the "flip flag" assembly? I have tall posts currently installed, but they don't look quite right to me. I checked some photos on ipdb, but can't come to a definite conclusion. I had to replace many of the posts, because they were cracked or totally broken.
Would appreciate anyone with the game to give it a look and let me know. Thanks!

I’ve got short posts on the center 5 and under the two red Bally lane guide plastics next to them.

Thanks, @ballypalooza. I have everything else installed, so that's all good. Strange how they used different colors on things, or maybe these lane guides aren't original. This one has red guides on the outlanes. I have a parts playfield here which has red mushroom bumpers, and a red post at the upper left, below the rebound rubber.

I had one white and one red on mine, but I had an extra red Bally logo in the spare parts bin. So I made them match. Mine was also taken apart and partially reassembled. Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks again. Hey, just noticed that this one has red posts between the flip flag targets.
Yeah, this looks much better.

Are you missing the rubber rings under the white lane guides?

I haven't yet gotten a full ring kit. The person I'm doing the game for says he has one, but he's been incommunicado lately. If he doesn't get the rings to me soon, he'll have to install them himself.
