One thing that puzzles me about this machine.
There are numbers which correspond to the pool ball numbers in the playfield. There’s one set at the top ( 3, 4-12, 1-9, 2) and a second set Going up in a vertical line from between the flippers (11,10, 7-5, 14, 13) See pic. One of the numbers in each set is usually lit and the lit one changes during the game. So what do they mean? I can’t work out the significance and how they connect to the gameplay but I’m probably being really dense! I don’t think they are connected to the balls on the back box which are lit by hitting the roto target. Anyone explain?

According to the flyer...
https://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2022&picno=4720&zoom=1
both the roto targets and the numbered rollover lanes should be lighting (or "liting" ) the balls in the backbox rack of pool balls.

According to the schematic the set of lights at the top and the other set of lights up the middle are wired as 5 sets of pairs controlled by the 10k Step Unit. As the 10k Step Unit advances one light in each set is turned on. The top and bottom center rollover switches can award the lit numbered ball(s).
