New here so please bear with..I have a 777 high top with what looks like the wrong pay out discs and reel strips in it. I have a second machine here with totally different and correct parts in it.. I am looking for pay out discs with the numbers ej1 ej2 and ej3 on the them. Or what discs can be substituted and where can I buy these? Thanks. PJ

Someone else may have a different opinion, but... I would start by cataloging the disks. There's usually a small hole near a reel stop tooth that marks the start.; List the payout position for each stop moving the disk clockwise: Ex: cherry, bell, plum, cherry, ... Sometimes the strips have shifted because the tin isn't crimped correctly or sometimes the disks have moved if not tight, so check to see if you have the right strip, just in the wrong position. (I find it strange that you'd have wholly incorrect strips). Next catalog the other disks--tougher but not impossible with the bundle intact. If still found to be incorrect, then you need a catalog from Bernie Berten's son Dave or from Rick Frink to determine if there's a set of stock strips to match the disks. Or post the results here and someone on the forum will tell you what you need. I wouldn't change the disks--that's a royal pain, especially if there's strips out there that match.

Thanks for the reply, I guess I omitted what my discs have stamped on them. The numbers are as follows sg1 sg2 sg3 which leads me to believe these are from a mills sega machine. The mechanism main frame does have mills stamped on some parts though. I don't see reel strips for these anywhere. Any more ideas? Thanks for any help PJ
