'. . . and First Place in Troubleshooting goes to Beads!'
Bill, as I said, the hook was on the roller so tight that I had to remove the entire
anti-check payout assembly to free it. Then I reinstalled it and, at your suggestion,
secured the hooked lever in a permanent out-of-the-way position with a wire:
Mech functions correctly now!. Forced all payout combinations and they are dropping
coins properly. Fait accompli! NEXT step is to fix the escalator!
Thanks so much for your help. "The experts will fill you in with the rest..." -- that would be YOU, sir!
