Hi All- New to the forum/new to slots/not mechanically inclined. I rescued/confiscated my late father's Mills machine from the basement of my brother's rental property. If I can fix it- it's mine otherwise, he wants it back. It needs to be mine. So I'm looking for any help/suggestions. It had some coin jams. I was able to take the mechanics out of it's case and get all the coins out including a drill bit that somehow found it's way into the coin bin. I ran a quarter through and it was fine, but the 2nd quarter stopped the machine in it's tracks. I took it apart again and with the help of Dave's U-Tube video, attempted to complete the cycle manually with a screwdriver. It just won't budge at all. The handle is just stuck. I've attached some pics. Any help is appreciated. My brother is starting to sweat that I've gotten this far....

It looks like it did not complete the cycle. Meck is jamed. Thats all I can tell you. I am located in North New Jersey snd can help you out if you are close to me.

If your still having problems try removing the spring under the main operating lever and let the lockout fall. lockout is in pic #1 about 1/3 way back from the front, spring is hooked to the square with the three holes in it. I noticed the release wire is missing from it too. This may be worn or in need of grease. Good Luck!!
