Poinsettia jackpot problem

Got this Mills Poinsettia working. I cannot get the jackpot or the reserve to dump. Am I missing something mechanical or have it somehow setup incorrectly. Additionally, there is a small set screw on the top slide that is flat on the top (worn), if this helps any.
Thanks.
Tom

Remove the top casting then cycle the mech to see how the slides and jackpot trip lever interact with the jackpot levers.

Hi
I think that the "A" part must to be on back of the "B"part.

For info , your jackpot model are uncommon on Poinsettia. It s more easy to find the other model .
But Don t worry it s original ,and are complet on your machine .
let me know , and if you have other trouble , let me know and I will check on mine !
And PLEASE , remove this screw and use the good one !!

Thanks!!!
Removed top front piece and watched unit cycle.
Then took another piece of advice, removed a few of those bad screws (referenced above) and slid the bottom plate forward. Everything now works correctly (jackpot and reserve). Special thanks to the forum and those who responded :D

Glad to see that you figured something out on your own, by moving the bottom plate.
Most people do not realize that something as simple as moving that plate ever-so-slightly,
one way or the other, can solve lever engagement problems. Especially with a jackpot.
