Quoted from mikat11:Complete rebuild on all flipper assemblies = years of trouble free operation.
This is often unnecessary on newer Stern Machines as the coil stop is the weakest link as the brass rivet on the coil stop often times break before there is any wear on either the coil stop itself or the plunger.

Unfortunately this is not even guaranteed with a new flipper mechanism in a new Stern machine; I've replaced broken coil stops in machines that were less than a year old.
