Quoted from marschner:

Anyone knows which of these 2 coil stops is the correct one for replacing Williams A-7414.
It´s for the coils for the flippers.
Even after a complete rebuild I had loud buzzing so I just tried to order a coil stop from a different store (free play).
I received the tall one and the store claims it IS the correct replacement.
I tried to swap the short one with the tall one but the buzzing is the same.
When I take a coil stop from one of the other coils in the machine and compare it, it seems much more similar to the short one.
It would just be nice to get confirmed that the short one is actually the correct type.

Quoted from marschner:

This is the rebuild kit I got from Marcos
https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/WFLKIT6979
It is a Toledo 1975.
I guess A-7414 should be one specific item and not game dependent or am I wrong?

O.K. That is a picture using pbresource parts...
1) what does your coil stop look like? ....
-- A-7414 OEM from Williams does not exist anymore...
2) pbresource redesigned an A-7414 like coil stop for AC voltage designed pinballs.
3) marcos specialties A-7414 coil stop references A-8143 coil stop...
4) A-8143 coil stop is a DC voltage coil stop, it is not a AC voltage coil stop.

Quoted from marschner:

1) Do you mean the original Williams?

1) OEM = Original Equipment Manufacture
2) "The one from pbresource also refers to A8143"
2) Answer: Yes! notice the "+" symbol after the part number from pbresource
--- the part they make is a hybrid part. Like I noted above it is a AC/DC coil stop.
3-4) "I would expect the coilstops to fit AC coils."
Answer: Yes, the part Marcos sells does fit the original bracket.
-------- But, Marco is more into solid state games rather than the old
-------- electro-mechanical games.
Note: Marco is also making their own parts to replace NLA parts...
------ It does not mean they are making the part correctly for the style of game one has.

Quoted from marschner:

I actually thought that the bras part of the stop made it more suitable for AC.

Answer: AC coil stops need a copper core to breakup the AC frequency, AKA Hertz, current cycle.
------- The brass collar is used to demagnetize to two pieces of metal....
------- [a. the plug][b.the mounting bracket]
------- The coil stop has to collapse the magnetic field that surrounds the coil when deactivated.
Note: you will find stories in Pinside of coil stops being magnetized from time to time.

Here you can see the copper core.
Also, the brass collar.
