Just another stepper. Probably Williams. Advances bonus.

If your pins stay put after manually setting them then you are probably correct in checking that switch bank. If not labeled then manually trip each one and label them. Not too tricky to adjust these since it's a really long throw from trip to untrip. Many other contacts to consider but a good...
