Quoted from vid1900:The first problem is that the old coils are shorter than the modern standard, AND they are 28v instead of 50v.
So we need a SFL 19/400 - 30/750 coil. Often used in games like Black Knight*, the coil is full size, 28v and has plenty of power. Exactly what we need.
You also need a base plate, flipper bushing and a high voltage EOS switch (don't reuse the old one that lacks the "helper" spring leaf).
Terry at PL will actually make the entire assembly for you for only $36:

I know right now many of you are saying "Thirty Six Dollars??? To rebuild my flipper?", but look at it this way:
1. You are getting a completely new everything. Nothing to polish or clean.
2. You are getting that "snappy" Fliptronic feel - the best flipper design ever made.
3. Rebuild kits in the future will only be $21 (instead of $54 for the old style Williams one).
4. You can sell your old mechs and coil and get a few bucks back towards your new stuff.
5. You can use modern flipper bats, so you get all the cool colors, transparent, illuminated......
* Firepower II, LaserCue and Starlight were the first games to switch to 50v flippers.

Hey Vid,
I bought a beat up flash about 5 years ago I was going to get operational, play for a while then sell. I was going through my stuff a few weeks ago and discovered 3 (one left & 2 right)of the WPC flipper mechs I must have bought to upgrade the 3 flippers. They have the right coils but they all have the same EOS switch. In the game the lower right flipper has a dual contact switch, I'm guessing to actuate the upper right flipper. I have pulled anything apart yet but that switch stack looks pretty fat and I might have a hard time fitting it on the mounting bracket if i want to swap it over while I wait for a new switch to come in from pinball life. This is what I think I want to order:

I just want to confirm that is the right one and get some direction on how to ensure everything is going to fit on the plate where they single eos switch is now.
