You are correct, but interesting enough when I got the new cover for the new slides the coin tube seems to fit into it differently and raises it up. In the end I don't know that it will work, but I am at a whits end with this machine. The slides don't match the pay out card which is a 2/5, but the master slide holds at least three dimes. Some have told me it is possible this is some sort of UK or pence machine where the dimes are a bit thicker. No matter what I do with the original slides they jam on dimes. I have taken them apart and cleaned them, but they still jam. What is also interesting is the original slides have washers at the top to raise the cover a bit and this appears to be needed because without these the slides are too tight. While it does not appear this would have come from Mills originally the washers appear to be made of some sort of heavy duty plastic and are very old. Anyway, not sure what else to do at this time, but possibly replace the slides to match the payout card.
