vid1900 Can you Confirm what i have listed to convert my Sorcerer System 9 to the newer style flippers.

I think I read correctly the Coil stops in the kit will work? The plates will mount without new holes? (Aware of the new bracket hole for springs)

I noticed my Right flipper as a double stack of switches?? See Here: https://goo.gl/photos/5o7BSQLbcbHbEQjL6

1 x FULL KIT - Williams/Bally Flipper Rebuild Kit - 02/1992 to 04/1993!

1x LEFT( for upper flipper ) - Williams/Bally Flipper Rebuild Kit - 02/1992 to 04/1993!

3x Flipper Bushings!

3 x EOS Switch "Normally Closed" IS this the HV one?!

3x 2.2uf 250v Axial Capacitors!

2x Left Plates!

1 x Right Plate!

2x FL11630 Flipper Coil "R/L Lower Flippers"!

1x FL11722 Flipper Coil "Upper Flipper"!

Do you have a recommendation on molex connectors for flippers? Would this and it's mate be appropriate?
CONNECTOR MOLEX® 6 CIRCUIT .093 !

Kawydud thanks! Your plate does look like it has the bracket that's tall for the cap...I don't think mine does.

One reason I don't just take it out is this is my only pin right now... I want to keep playing, rather than taking it all apart... I appreciate everyone's help.

Quoted from Kawydud:

The newer ones just have a removable leaf switch bracket, they work fine. The original was welded on, either one will work.

FYI I double checked my plates do not have a taller bracket. It is just the size of the leaf switch.. seems worth the cost to get the new fliptronic setup and make it more easily serviceable in the future...though part of me wants to keep it OG.

Also according to vid1900 your coil is in backwards.
