This really freaked me out, and most of you probably won't believe it. I hope James reads this thread, and can confirm that I'm not out of my mind.

I have a 1973 Chicago Coin World Series in the same room as my MultiWilliams (sitting right next to it). The JROK had been on for an hour or so, and I opened the back door of the cabinet to hook up the test switches (forgot to turn the game off first). Suddenly I heard the cheers and whistling from World Series coming out of my MultiWilliams speaker. WTF?? I checked , and sure enough World Series is still unplugged.

Huge coincidence, or is my arcade haunted?
 
Aha! MultiWilliams was sitting on the Robotron attract screen. Apparently when I opened the cab door, the coin-up wire was grounded -- and the sounds from World Series are one of the coin-up sounds for Robotron.

Absolutely amazing...
 
I think it's pretty damned cool that Eugene Jarvis (or maybe the sound guy) put this tribute to "Deluxe World Series" into Robotron. I'm still in awe of how I accidentally discovered it - probably a sign from the arcade gods that I need to put my World Series back together again.
