Flipper rubber sizes

Most modern 3 in flippers take a standard 1/2 in wide flipper rubber (sold in yellow, red and black); some Gottlieb games used a narrower 3/8 in ring. Small 2 in flippers on three- and four-flipper games take a mini-flipper ring. Curved banana flippers need a moulded cover-style rubber. Games from the 1940s to the 1960s (and a few 1970s ones) had 2 in flippers using a mini-flipper ring or a plain 1 in ring, sometimes two stacked.
