Don't know how knowledgeable you are on slot machines but activate mechanism while holding clock fan and without allowing movement of clock take a small shop towel and place it by the fan on the clock holding it motionless!
This will allow free movement of the reels with both hands free, slowly move the first reel and watch the reel disc closest to the vertical payout fingers and make sure one is not rubbing on the first reel disc!
Also look and see where any other drag may be occurring on the first reel, reel brake rod, reel stop lever, Etc.
Could be in various locations, watch and listen closely as you move the first reel!
As you mentioned about the fourth click, could be in the area of the vertical pay finger release assembly!
Bona Fortuna!
