Quoted from KenH:That's not true. If the stop does not seat well, the hold is affected.
this does not make sense. flip the coil stops between sides without adjusting the EOS Switches. my money is that the problem stays on the same flipper.

Quoted from KenH:It makes sense from a physics standpoint, though.

Magnetism follows the inverse square law. Basically, when there is a small decrease in surface area or increased distance between the two "magnets" (for example, a bad seat between the stop and plunger), there is a great reduction in magnetic field strength.

The only magnetic field generated is by the windings in the coil itself. You could replace the coil stop with wood, plastic, pubes, or a potato and your flipper will still work (for a while).
