Thanks for posting this video! Was able to repair my 25 cent machine after it jammed last night. Love how you gave all these important tips in a video that was less than 5 minutes long. Again, thanks for posting!

Nice video, it helped me. Thanks!

you just saved me a bunch of money. I unjammed my 4star Jennings Chief with your help. Thank you so much

Thank you for the helpful video! My late grandfather kept his 1 cent unit and when it fell into my parent's house and my son played with it, they could not remember how to unjam it. Now it works again and we know exactly what we need to do in the future (historically, this unit would jam all the time but my grandfather would fix it)

So cool; like a 60’s Johnson outboard, 50hp+: all mechanical, all slop, and way cool

Just got my first Mills Hi-Top, excellent video, well explained and illustrated.

great video! just got my first one, and sure enough I had some issues. thanks for taking the time to produce this, it was extremely helpful! I have an accumulation of coins that sit upon the jackpot, will try to use your advice to see if I can set it up properly.

thanks great video!!

This video is a real help. Many thanks! My machine has a problem with the coin spacers through the front lens. The coins are slipping in front of the spacers and jamming up together so the coins are actually touching each other.

Thanks for these videos! I recently acquired a Mills 5c Castle Front, and it's great to see how it works. Unfortunately, mine stopped working last night and I'm hoping to troubleshoot it. The mechanism's coin detection bar (the one coming up out of the machine) doesn't reset to the original position after play. That is, I put in a coin, I pull the arm, it plays, while playing that coin detection arm is moved in to prevent coins from going down. But after the game finishes it doesn't fully pop back out. If I remove the mechanism it resets fine, and it doesn't seem to have issues if I run the machine outside of the case. It feels like some problem between the mechanism and the coin detector. I would LOVE some help if you have suggestions.

you can silence a phone so it keeps ringing just not aloud.. cool vid

If the slot machine is not turning on, what should i check first. Great video by the way, super helpful.

I picked up an older aristocrat nevada machine. Reels spin but just barely. Its not too dirty. I dont see any old dry grease. The reels just dont seem to be starting correctly.

Good video helpful

How do I get the lever that you pull down unstuck? When I pull the handle down the mechanism is stuck down causing it not to spin

I have an antique mills nickle slot machine, I have two issues at this time. first it is giving free pulls. And the second is it is not paying out. when I took a look at the pay tube, it was half full. I tried filling it manually , but that did not help on the pay out. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Very nice tutorial.... Bloody phones always ring at the worst times...lol

Hi there, so I have a 1 arm bandit slot machine from the 1960’s and the reals and lights work, but the machine doesn’t dispense coins when you get a payout. I was just wondering how I may be able to fix this?

Do you know of anyone in SE Florida that can refurbish an old electro mechanical?

Just saw your video. Is there a way to contact you?

I have an early War Eagle 25-cent machine that plays perfectly. Been restored by a top restorer. Awhile ago I got a jackpot and it worked fine. Putting in the next coin, the reserve jackpot started to fall but didn't and the machine is jammed. The handle is down halfway and I can't pull it further. Hopefully there is an easy fix. I have hit several jackpots on the machine and they always paid correctly and the reserve jackpot fell properly. Would appreciate very much your response. Thanks

I have a Mills Firebird with a similar mechanism. My lever with the coin detection pin does not fully return back and seems to be out of adjustment. I found what appears to be a missing bumper on the front of the vertical arm. The vertical arm is coming too far forward not allowing that horizontal arm to return. Any suggestions on adjustment or finding that missing bumper?

My Mills has coins in the chute but it seems like during payout the coin slide plate assembly does not go back far enough to dispense the coins upon payout. Don't know what happened, it was working fine, I opened it up to check on things and clean out misplaced coins and when I put it back together, nothing pays out. Could there be a coin behind the plates preventing it from moving? Do I need to tear it all down to verify this?

My machine wheels are slow can you give me a hint on how to fix that. On my other machine the 3rd wheel just keeps spinning. I would like to know what I can do to fix that one as well. Thank you

My friend has a elvis slot machine that will not stop spinning any ideas

I am unable to get the reels to rotate , can you help. cheers

WD-40?????

Very nice! I don't own one of these . . . yet. Plan on getting one over the next year. This will be very helpful.
