I have been working on it and had some issues along the way that I have already posted a few questions on, but am now having a different issue. I am having an issue when a jackpot pays out the handle won't pull on the next coin. When I pull the mech out I am noticing that the vertical bar in front of the payout slides (sorry don't know the name for this part) with the wire tension is pushed over too far on the bottom left. When this happens the next pull come straight down on that piece and it won't move out of the way. I tried to look online at what might be causing this, but any of the examples of the machines I have seen don't even have this part....or I cannot see it. Unfortunately this part is part of the cover for the slides so it cannot be removed...any maybe it is not supposed to. Since the machine was not working properly when I got it I am not sure this part ever work correctly or if I have it installed right. Also to be honest this might not have anything to do with the jackpot, but prior to testing the jackpot payout I could play coin after coin without an issue. Please see the picture, but any help with this would be appreciated.
