This is a dumb question I should know the answer to, but I don't. I'm relatively new to pinball maintenance, but I am taking on a simple maintenance project for a stern POTC. Essentially, the only problem with this game, besides the playfield being dirty, is that the flippers are extremely weak. I went to Marco pinball's web page to find flipper coils for this game, but there are a lot of different kinds (obviously). I'm wondering if anyone can point me to the right kind to get.
Thanks!

You need a rebuild kit. Coils work or they don't. If they work, replacing them won't make them stronger. It is usually slop in the system that makes them weak.
