Which Williams flipper parts fit Data East flippers
Coil sleeves are identical (Williams 03-7066-5 for 545-5388-00). The Williams plunger and link A-15847 is the same length and diameter and works well. The link spacer bushing, nylon playfield bushing and coil stop must be the Data East/Stern parts: the Williams bushing is too short and lets the bat drag on the playfield, the spacer does not fit the link bolt, and the coil stop has small holes and the wrong bend.
