Thanks again Marsonion,
Do to other obligations I have put this project on temporary hold. At this point I have all the coins out of the machine. I have disassembled , cleaned and lightly oiled many of the moving parts. Whatever has jammed on the main shaft has let loose, but the reel kicker is not spinning the reels. The sad part is that my pristine reels are now dirty from my dirty fingers. The reel strips seem to be made of a porous paper that is not easily cleanable. Does anyone sell replacement strips?
Randy
