Thanks

It is on there to change the timing on the clock. This was used to prevent people from trying to get the machine in a rhythm for certain symbols especially on the first reel. It would change the spin time on the reel. Shorter or longer spin times. I think it was used on the later model clocks.

Thanks oldslotman
I liked the bushing better when it was all gummed
After freeing it, 6 out of 10 spins the first reel only moves 2-3 symbols
It almost appears that the mech is malfunctioning
I suppose I could replace the clock with a standard bushing

So I guess the small L bracket on the MOA is to engage the orbital bushing?
Cool
