Yes, looking at the front of the mech they go left to right, 1, 2 & 3!
The reel strips may not be on the reel tins correctly and may require you setting up a spin and stopping the clock with a rag by the fan so that you can spin the reels freely and look at the symbols on each reel on every other one at the location the reel would stop in a "ten stop" configuration and then look at the disc for each reel and see if the hole on the disc that aligns with the vertical pay finger is correct for the symbol on that particular reel tin!
Cherry,s first outer hole on disc, oranges second hole going towards disc center, Etc.
I had you try the three bars as there are less combinations on the bars and it would give you a starting point!
However if the reel strips are loose and moving on the reel tins you could have the three bars lined up in such a way that one of the bars would be in a location that it is not supposed to stop on in a ten stop configuration which would throw off the other symbols stopping points on that particular reel!
I am probably not explaining this very well as I can talk someone thru it better on the phone them in typing it out here on the forum!
Also if someone before you has been futzing with the reels, #1 & #2, as to their attachment to the reel shaft connected to the discs other things could be out of wack!
Maybe someone else could explain it better than I!
