Whirlwind
Williams, 1990Switch 41- Spinner does not register at all.
When testing I am very confused what on the one side of the spinner switch there is yellow wire going to a lamp? To me this does not make sense. The manual does not show this on a schematic.
Does anyone now why this is done, I am completely lost. Is this some kind of upgrade as a result of the game having LEDs now?

Looks like there's also another hack with a yellow wire done on the target to the left of it?
From the switch matrix, you should be able to see what other switches in the same row/column the switch should be connected to. I'd just find the closest one and run a wire over to it
Here is what mine looks like, or at least did before I did a playfield swap. I think the yellow wire from the spinner needs to connect to the standup target switch, rather than the insert light. Not sure why a plain yellow wire is used here, it just confuses things. It should be a green wire with a blue stripe for the sixth column in the switch matrix. When I did my swap, I replaced the yellow wires with the correct color ones.
