Vid, great thread. Could you clarify please:

1/ the difference between the B/W rebuild kits for 02/1992 to 04/1993 and then 08/1993 to 10/1998? Is it just a different stop assy?

2/ Flipper Stop Assembly: A-12111 vs. A-12390. The only difference I see is that the A-12390 stop is slightly longer, and might also use a different material for the stop itself which like high speed steel (at least the ones I have).
- In a practical sense, what performance/wear advantage do the longer stops provide?
- If we are reconfiguring an early 90’s flipper assy for the newer spring retainer bracket setup, I'm assuming it's also beneficial to swap the A-12111 stop for the A-12390 stop?

3/ Base Plates: is the current model the B-13104-L/R or 16103-L/R? I’ve seen these are other item codes and can’t make heads or tails of which has replaced/superceded which other.
