Hello,

Brand new to the board and just beginning to completely strip down a 1930s Mills Cherries 5¢ slot machine from a family collection. I ordered and started reading (today) the Geddes/Meade Owner’s Pictorial Guide. I am looking forward to this project.

The one part that I am trying to identify before totally starting to strip the assembly is a broken piece that I found in the middle of the machine. The photo is attached. I’d like to figure out what it is in order to have it on hand for when I get to that step in the process.

Thanks!

Joe

Hello and Welcome to the forum, based on the thickness of your mystery item, I would guess it's part of your operating fork and kicker assembly. Posting more pictures of your mechanism/cabinet would be helpful.

it's the back of a master slide early version. if you have the slide it can be welded back on, if not you have a piece of scrap!!!

mechanic is spot on. Below is a photo showing the slides and the part broken circled in red. Photo is from an eBay seller.

Sorry for the delay…I have been under the weather this week. Thank you all very much. This was the area that it was recovered from. I will be breaking the machine down later this week and will post a follow up photo. I appreciate it!!!!!
