Seeing this thread resurface reminded me about something.
On Gottlieb pop bumpers, is there a standard approach for replacing the coil stop with a depression in it? There's usually nothing wrong with the bracket itself.

Quoted from ts4z:I have trouble getting $100s from the ATM. In a pinch, will a $20 do? Will an old (monochromatic) $20 work?
I tend to use an index card.

Quoted from Goalie:Ok I have an IM with a pop bumper that doesn't work. The coil works and pops, but the peg from the skirt slides off to one side of the spoon so the switch doesn't trigger. I've tried adjusting the switch stack and there is no play between the spoon and the peg, but as soon as one particular side of the skirt gets touched the peg slides off to the side. It only happens when that side of the skirt is touched.
Is the peg on the skirt worn down or mushrooming? Is there anything in the spoon that might need to be cleaned out?

Quoted from ajfclark:I believe fibre yokes are bakelite. e.g. http://www.actionpinball.com/parts.php?item=545-5609-00U
Bakelite was an early plastic/resin material. Those fiber yokes and plunger links are something else.
Quoted from ajfclark:But everyone calls them bakelite, like sometimes people call vacuum cleaners are Hoovers or all glass cleaners Windex? Ok. I can only go off what people call the stuff, like in the pinrepair guide he explicitly says he used Bakelite to make a flipper link (http://www.pinrepair.com/em/emflip2.jpg), and it looks the same as the material I have for older fibre yokes.
Right, sometimes terminology is misused, such as battery "acid".
Examples of actual bakelite: https://www.realorrepro.com/article/Is-it-Bakelite
PBResource offers lengths of the fiber link material for sale--they might know the proper term for it.
