Working on a 57 Williams Deluxe baseball and am wondering if there are 2 schematics (novelty and replay) as the wiring, relays and step units do not match my schematic #182. Any help/insight much appreciated.

I recall playing a pinball machine at a local luncheonette. They'd get a new one in every month on a changeout with some local vendor. It was Eight Ball Deluxe. It had to have been prior to 1973 as this was when I went of to college and the luncheonette closed shortly thereafter. Yet I see that this pinball machine is claimed to have been built new in the 1980's? The unit that I played had a crude taunt that it would announce, maybe just before the ball was launched, "stop talking and start chalking!". It had old mechanical scoring, not electronic digital. Was there an earlier version that apparently is not mentioned in the pinball resources that I have seen so far?
