First machine.....The case and the mech have matching serial number and are dated 10/63.
We purchased them some 15 years ago. It had orange glass and not red. The machines worked fine. Now the machines have been in storage and not played in years. We took the mechs out (See Photo). You can push the handle down, it comes back up and does nothing. None of the coins go across the top. The chain is tight and just seems everything has tention. Even if you put a coin in, pull the handle still nothing. Any ideas, thank you
Second machine...........Jennings Star Chief .... when you play it.... it is very sluggish and the third reel dies not lock up. After
spraying wd40 it takes a coin, plays, however; you have to put tention on the chain???? Can or should it be tighten somehow. Again thank you guys.When we get another thing to work, then something else doesnt work right. Getting it level is something that we found corrects a lot and blowing all the dust and dirt out helps tremendously. Learning these machines is a challenge.
