Need help understanding how the jackpot is tripped on my 5 cent bursting cherry.
I've attached a picture of the slides with the jackpot stud. When I cycle a jackpot I can see the jackpot stud slide toward the back of the machine - away from the jackpot trip lever. How does the stud trip the jackpot?
I also have a half dollar Black Cherry which has a different jackpot mech - I think because of the size of the half dollars there is only room for a regular jackpot but no reserve jackpot. It has a lever that rides above the smaller jackpot stud. When the stud moves toward the back it lifts this lever which trips the jackpot. My bursting cherry does not have this additional lever and from what I can tell was not designed to have it.
Is it, in fact, missing this lever, or is there another way that the jackpot is tripped?
Thanks,
Shane
