Well my new upgraded flippers have arrived but to me looks like they have fitted just a standard leaf switch or am I just being gormless? Can't compare with my other machine at the mo it's surrounded by parts
Is This A Standard Leaf Switch Or EOS?

Looks good to me.
Yep looks good, shouldnt there be 2 diodes on the flipper coil
Assuming this is a 90s Williams / Bally

It's an 80's Williams but with the fliptronic mechs
Nice and shiney, should play like new again now
Rudi,
That looks like a solid-state flipper EoS switch, which is closed when the flipper is energised. The older-type high current flipper used a switch with heavier contacts, and they were closed with the flipper at rest, i.e the longer blade was furthest from the coil, and nearest to the switch mounting 'spur'.
Electrically speaking, opening the switch brings the secondary winding into circuit and reduces the current flowing through the coil, switches and relay contacts.
FirePower also has a second (matrixed) switch on the right-hand flipper, to operate the 'Lane Change'.

That's ok then it's ment to be an EOS already got the lane change switches just not fitted yet

Brand new that's why lol it had no mechs atall b4 and no wiring still lacks the wiring but I'm getting to that
Gormless.
Well, you did ask.
