Notes: 'Jubilee' is the 4-player version of Williams' 1973 'Darling'.

Claude Verpy, a collector in France, relates this story from his friend, Christian Tabart, indicating that Jubilee was originally designed with four pop bumpers:

The French firm Bussoz, an operator and importer of games, sent Christian to the Williams factory in Chicago in December 1972, accompanied by an interpreter. Christian met Norm Clark and Steve Kordek and gave them his opinion on what they were doing, and the exchange was apparently very interesting. Steve Kordek was in the final stages of getting Jubilee ready for production. He had planned four pop bumpers on the playfield, the two bottom ones on either side of the captive balls, like on Whoopee. Christian told him that it would make the game less interesting for the players as those two pop bumpers would prevent the ball from being sent back to the top of the playfield and would help lose the ball quickly. The result is that the pop bumpers were replaced by two rollover buttons which add to the bonus..and a game which was certainly more interesting to play.
