"If your current plunger has a Tail, this was the original Gottlieb® design. This design was supposed to avoid plunger hangups. It turned out that the tail caused more hangups than it cured. Gottlieb® later removed the tail to correct the problems it was causing. Thus the above plunger is the correct replacement part for your tailed plunger."

Quoted from too-many-pins:

I knew I had read that somewhere but I couldn't remember where. I know only about 10% of the flipper assemblies I see have those "tails" on them.

All those brain cells I have leftover from the 70s are now an encyclopedia of pinball. Categorized and memorized.
