You are correct. However, why do they need adjusted? Is the coil stop worn?
If the adjustment is slight, the shaft may roll back to where it was if the screws go back into the same divots. If that happens, switch the flippers.
Quoted from Billc479:You are correct. However, why do they need adjusted? Is the coil stop worn?
The coil stops are fine. The flippers are just sitting slightly lower than I like. I hadn't thought about divots. I guess this is a disadvantage of this kind of flipper mech vs. the pawl on a modern flipper. If they need to be replaced, can I use any standard flipper bat?
EBC flippers (resized).jpgYou were correct about the divots. I was able to slightly raise the left flipper, but the right flipper kept slipping back to its original position. I solved this problem by swapping the right flipper with the upper flipper. Since the divots were in different locations, it allowed me to adjust the right flipper to my liking. 
Actually, your flippers were already correctly aligned. What made you think they were wrongly setup?

Quoted from Quench:Actually, your flippers were already correctly aligned. What made you think they were wrongly setup?
It's not that I necessarily thought they were wrongly setup. They were just a little too low for my liking.
Quoted from alveolus:Can’t you just grind the divots out?
I would think this could be a possible solution as well.
