Jennings Silver Chief information

[Mully911$]

Hello,
I’m looking at purchasing my first slot machine Jennings Silver Chief 25¢ slot machine. I enjoy restoring vintage Pinball games, Eco air meters and Coke machines.
Here is a photo of one I want to purchase. When you insert a coin and pull the handle All three reels spin nicely and then stop in order. The machine does not pay out And you can see in the picture below that there is a spring that appears to be overstretch. Could that be the issue? I’m really interested in learning all I can about this machine and helping preserve some of these old girls. Any information would be much appreciated. Is it possible to locate the correct spring?
Thanks in advance!
Mike

"Mechanic" in this forum might have the springs you need. To learn more about how to fix/repair/restore the mechanisms on this slot, you can also buy repair books, such as the "Owner's Pictorial Guide for the Care and Understanding of the Jennings Bell Slot Machine" by Geddes and Mead. It describes all of the slot's functions, how to disassemble, clean and reassemble the machine.

Seriously look on E Bay, I believe Thunder55 sells replacement springs
