Quoted from lmcdonald111:Thank you
I’m looking for the tags on each switch in the bottom of the cabinet
Yes, youll find most of them on the above mentioned inkochinto's website (hosted by pinballrebel) under the 'Williams' section.
I provided him with most pics of the labels.
If some are missing, PM me, i can probably help out.

Quoted from Atari_Daze:Some of the end result, just don't have the machine to show these off in...[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
How do you deal with the hidden text such as the match numbers or "game over"?
Do you have an other translite printed with only the mask?

Quoted from kguenther6:One question on the game. It seems the switch that is on the upper left lane past the spinner has just one purpose and that is to tilt the game if it is the first switch hit. Does it do anything else?
What I learned is that switch was placed there to apparently prevent people from lifting the one way gate at the end of the ball arch which would have sent the ball thru the spinner lane right off the shooter shot.
Story goes that this gate is liftable by using a magnet. Tried it. Didn't manage to get it to workbon my machine.
Maybe a neodymium magnet would do it.
However don't think there were many of those readily available to teens back in the late 70s...
And the marginal gain doesn't seem to me like it was worth the risk of being caught by the operator....
Ssso it seems almost like a really paranoid addition to an already complex game.
If anybody else has another explanation to why that tilt switch was placed there, I'd love to hear about it.
