Star Wars schematics FYI

  While undertaking the tedious task of trying to accurately catalog my game manuals, I noticed something on Star Wars schematics I just wanted to point out as an FYI to the group. Typically when Atari went to different "printings", changes were relatively minor between them and in many cases you'd have to look really hard to find any differences at all.
   
  But in the Star Wars schematics, the 1st printing has sheets 1-18 (A&B). The 2nd printing only has sheets 1-17 (A&B), it excludes sheet 18 which covers the XY HV and deflection, likely because the Ampliphone is covered in it's own separate Atari manual.
   
  Also, the 2nd printing has an additional 18 page Troubleshooting Guide inserted in the middle for "diagnostic hardware tests and Atari CAT Box Troubleshooting procedures".
   
  Nothing major, just wanted to note that in this case at least, it appears the 2nd printing has some significant additions. One other minor point of note, typically Atari issued fully separate schematics for different cabinet versions for their games, i.e., upright, cocktail, cabaret, cockpit. But in Star Wars, the cockpit and upright are covered in the same schematics package.
