Just rolled two cherries and a plum, no payout.... Dropped another nickle in, pulled out... Stuck, halfway.... Tried pulling hard, no go..... Where do I go from here?

Had a similar problem not too many weeks ago... check this little SOB doohickey, which endures a lot of fore-and-aft mechanical interactions, so the damn screw that holds it in place can come undone by itself and then the little POS tab can hang loose or fall off and jam up the entire gizmo. :evil:

HI

This is a problem with jamming on the vest pockets. I find using worn nickels work best. Looks like you may have a nickel jam on the bottom of the coin tube.Try turning the machine upside down and remove the jam in the tube.Hope this helps you. Any body have other ideas ?

Thank You Sir! Turned it upside down and gave it a shake, coin mech came out a little, but not fully. Turned over again and shook her good, bunch of nickles fell out and slide returned to normal. Played a few and she paid out correctly. Thanks again!
