Quoted from rufessor:

Also- for extra credit for those reading this...
Any damn clue where this wire is supposed to go. Switch stack "C" from bottom cabinet. I was adjusting all switches when I found this easter egg....
I will consult schematics but to be honest I am not positive I can identify this wire color nor are Gottlieb schematics as easy as a Williams would be to figure out what it likely goes to...
So if someone wants to take me to the final level and teach me how to find that unknown wire on a gottlieb schematic I would love that...
Wire is orangish greyish with a stripe, maybe its yellow? Its is damn faded after 43 years sitting around.

Did you ever figure that one out? If not here are some pics of my C relay.

Gotta watch that movie now... HA!

My King Pin is the main star of this video I put together for a song my band made:

(which is also the theme song to the SDTM show)

I don't mean to derail, I thought you might enjoy it - keep up the good work!

No derail- that game looks really nice! Hopefully this will come out like that- did you do the restore? Looks all polished etc!
Cool video! Thanks for sharing

No restore at all - it's how I found it in the basement of an old timer who had a few EMs for sale. Sadly I was strapped for time so I didn't have the time to get the other ones, but King Pin was on my list ever since I'd played it at the Seattle Pinball Museum a few years back.
The cab and especially coin door aren't as nice, but the playfield over and under are top notch.
