Pictured in this listing are two 2-flipper versions. The upper playfield has posts instead of two flippers even though the playfield wood is unpainted where each flipper would sweep when energized. Under the playfield are dimples in the wood where holes would have been drilled for the flipper shafts instead of having posts. Without these upper flippers, it is harder to score the upper playfield targets. The manufacturer's flyer and promotional photo both show four flippers. It is unknown when in production the games began being produced with only two flippers.
Several Williams documents list this game only once, as Model 373, and do not separate the production into 2-flipper and 4-flipper entries. Several handwritten documents authored by Steve Kordek also show only one entry for 'Set Up' and consistently show a single quantity of 225 games produced. A Product History Record, which has been deemed to show sales estimates, provided a lower quantity of 204 units produced. In our files section, the Instruction Manual references four flippers while the schematic references only the lower two.
Pictured in this listing is a section under a playfield having a serial-numbered certificate 58531 showing the upper two flipper mechanisms of a four-flipper game. The wiring to these flippers indicate that they were added after initial assembly. Starting at the right side of the single drop target assembly in the lower center of the photo can be seen the double red wire (common power rail used by the lower flippers) sharing a solder lug with a single tan wire. The tan wire is routed on the outside of the wiring bundle, and sometimes outside of the cable lacing to the flipper coil in the upper left, then daisy-chained to the flipper coil in the upper right. As this is the only photo we have of this flipper wiring, we don't know if these upper flippers were added before the game left the factory, or after.
We seek hi-res photographs, inside and out, of the version having four fli
