Generic flipper parts may be Pinball 2000 spec

Most WPC flipper plungers and stops now come from one maker, which switched to Pinball 2000 dimensions (longer plunger, same coil stop). Fitted to a WPC game they shorten flipper travel and make it play harder. Buy parts made to the original WPC spec where possible, or correct the travel by bending the rest stop (see the travel adjustment entry).
