I have the machine also. Not much info. on the internet for it. I am missing the center vertical jackpot push bar. Yes it fills the jackpot with a 2 cherry pay out. Not sure how it stops this when the jackpot is full. Do i really need that jackpot vertical push bar? The coin escalator works but not for one coin all the time. Some times I get 2 0r 3 coins in the same slot. Poor design on this machine. Just notice I am missing the z bar on the bottom of the escalator.

When you say "center vertical jackpot push bar"...are you talking about the bar mounted in the case...
Or you talking about the part on the mechanism, that pushes it?
I have talked with Marsonion, I have learned much! As I understand it...there is a bar, extending into the jackpot reserve.
I hear, it should have a ball on the end. each time the handle is pulled, the bar/ball lift, then drop. When reserve chamber is full...it lifts, but can not drop. When it does not drop, it holds the "zig-zag"
in position to block coins from entering the reserve!
By removing the zig-zag, and home made spring, and oiling the pivot points of the gate that fills the reserve...I was able to get the reserve to start filling on cherry, cherry,any! So, I put the zig-zag and home made spring back on and tested it. No filling of reserve on CH,CH,ANY. More testing required...but I'm getting closer.
I think you are right about the escelator...
Often times, the hooks that pull the coins up, seem worn down...and slip under the coin, leaving it behind. Sometimes it works itself out...but this one required me to open it up, and spill the coins out.
