Hello to all! I am a REAL newbie, and the purchase at Morphy's was my first machine, and I am hoping to help preserve a piece for Coin op history. Thank you to all of you doing your part to help keep this truly great piece of history alive, and well.
The Machine:
It plays well, and resolves winning combinations, but the payout is off at times, and pay at times when it shouldn't. After removing the mechanism, I ca see that it needs a REAL good cleaning as there is lint, dust, grease, and grime EVERYWHERE. The pay out slides seem to move but need cleaning as well, thus hopefully solving the payout issue. The reels seemed to move a varying speeds, so I adjusted the tensions a little on the "Brakes", and now they seem to spin, and stop a lot better. The jackpot mechanism is intact, but seems to be missing something to trigger it when the jackpot is hit. I will follow up with pictures as soon a I can. I was just hoping to find out a bit more information, and maybe a good schematic of what the mechanism should be for this machine. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
