I am not familiar with Callies so wondering what made you say the JP is messed up? I think they were trying to get money of of it possibly. Rick
Well, if you look at the picture of your "Callie," you'll see coins piling up on a locked-up, sliding trap door in the floor of the reserve above the JP, which contains but one, sad nickel. FYI that trap door should slide open on each pull to allow coins to gather into the lower chamber (i.e. the JP) until their accumulated weight shoves backward on a ballasted contraption which latches the trap door shut, so coins start piling up in the reserve (upper chamber). Lots can go wrong with the ponderous scenario I describe here; I'm not defending it, just telling you how it's supposed to run. Don't get me started on how it
stops dropping coins into the reserve, because that's a real hoot... save the best for last.
