Quoted from Mardi-Gras-Man:And from 1962 on there were generally 2 rubber-rings fitted on each flipper. It's not only on the flyer, this was real. 2 rubber-rings look much better than one, also it protected the flipper from getting broken. It's neither original nor better looking when people fit their 2-inch-flippers with just 1 rubber. It also was the case that most operators fitted the pre-1962-machines with 2 rubbers to protect the flipper from getting broken. No idea where this "new" trend comes from to return to just one rubber.
It's not a "new" trend. That's how they were in the 60s. The 60s were when I got started playing pinball so I played a ton of games from all manufacturers, all two inch flippers, and they were all single rubber flippers. Maybe the operators somewhere did it, but they did not come from the factory with two rubbers on each flipper. If they did then the ops of all the games I played removed them.
I asked Steve Young this very question one time. His statement was that one rubber was factory. Might be the reason there is only one groove for the rubber on the flipper. In addition, I've run one rubber on all my two inch games forever and I've never broken one flipper bat doing that.
