Hello,

I purchased my first slot machine from local antique shop, purchased broken and in fair to poor condition. My guess.
I have been using a large screw driver to engage the mech and my hands are in cut/ sore condition, out of cab handle on the way.
The machine is a Jennings Club Chief. I have the unit turning over but have many problems with the coin escalator, jams and seems out of time.
The clutch seems out of time with the chain and I have taken it apart many times and never seem to get it to function correctly. Can anyone give me a clue on how
to get this escalator working ?

You may have some worn or broken parts in it. What is your location ? There maybe someone close that you help you

GREG IT COULD BE AS SIMPLE AS BACKING OFF THE SCREW ON THE TOP LEFT OF THE ESCALATOR SO THAT V17-10 AND V17-12 CLOSE THE GAP BETWEEN THE TEETH. LATER JIM

I will try that.
Thank you
