I have a mills QT chevron and have a issue keeping nickel in place at the window it just falls down to the payout tube. Is there a spring needed to keep nickel in place?

If I already addressed this on a Facebook thread I apologize. If you have the correct lever on the back of the coin head (different shape for 1 & 5 cent machines) and it has a spring attached then the issue is that the lever may be slightly bent or might need to be adjusted (filed a touch) to hold the nickel in place. In any case the coin head will have to be removed to make the adjustment. I also assume that the coin sensing pin is actually present and coming through the hole when the machine is cycled.

Spring is there, lever looks ok, and coin pin works.
I will take a closer look when I have time.

Thanks

Found the problem the bottom tip of the spring lever that catches the coin has been filed down.
Other than that machine plays and pays as it should.
