Can you post a picture of your flipper mechs? It could be the mechs were swapped, or just the coils.

Quoted from flb_gulfstream:I quickly read through the link. I will go back and take a closer look again while I am waiting for my flipper parts. Nice work and machines in that link.
Are the pop bumpers (jet bumpers) the "AC keyhole style" or "AC/DC standard style"? I see rebuild kits for both styles listed on PBR for Williams.
Here's the question that will start up a new debate (I've seen lengthy discussions on the internet) - should the flipper positions be set using the alignment holes in the playfield or should the flippers be aligned so that the rubber cover is in line with the return lane rods? If the holes are to be used, should the flippers be set so the back of the flipper arms (rubber covers removed) are lined up with the holes?
Thanks.
On Williams ems of this era I've found that usually you want the flipper to be pointing at the alignment hole (eg centered over it), which usually ends up parallel to the return guides.
The pop bumpers aren't keyhole, they're DC. I don't know why they list their other kit as "ac/dc" since they also say it's "starting with Spanish eyes" which was the first dc game. It's a dc kit, which is what you want
