Hi d12bn
You need to pull the mechanism out and check the payout fingers and the corresponding holes in the reel disks.
there are two different lemons showing on the third reel, it may be correct when the 5 / 10 payout happens as it may be a mystery pay??
Check the payout finger for the two cherry five pay?
you need to cycle it outside the case and stop the clock fan and line up all the cherry and lemon pays to verify whats what.
When a lemon shows on the third reel, that finger penetrates the disk deeper to make the 10 pay.
There are several tutorials on You Tube that explain this!
Good luck

Thanks Nigel
I found a video and checked the symbols on first 2 reels I think are all good. No cherry on reel 3, is that right? I'm confused on checking 3rd reel with no cherries. The outside hole shows different symbols?

The mills jewel bell is most likely a 2/5 payout. Does it payout on a single cherry, 2 coins. If it is a single cherry 2 coin payout, the cherry vertical payout finer for the cherries should never pass through the third reel disc. There should be no holes for it to pass through. It will only pass through the third reel disc if you have a 3/5 payout which does not pay on a single cherry. 2/5 payout is CH 1,2,3, reel disc. 3/5 payout is SP 1,2,3, reel disc.

After looking at the pictures of your machine it seems you do have a 3/5 payout which means that the vertical payout finger should go through the third reel disc on all two cherries and a lemon or bell and pay 5 coins. If it pays 10 then the vertical payout finger for the cherries is somehow tripping the horizontal finger for the oranges.

How do I trouble shoot it? Thanks

Check the slides are they Dirty?
Are all the slides resetting in the forward position on each play and holding in the forward position- if not
Check the horizontal fingers - dirty? Or sticking allowing the slides to release
With odd payouts
Check the horizontal finger springs - weak ,missing
Horizontal fingers must have spring tension to return them to the left to hold the slides

Last would be the vertical fingers but I think it's one of the above
