Enjoyed the posts about the Jennings Governor and Sweepstakes.

I found a couple of jennings slot locally and could use some opinions as I don't have any Jennings machines yet.

The four star is working but missing back bonnet and back door. Are these parts that are available often? I notice all of the comments about the Sweepstake missing some parts. Do you see any missing mech parts on this machine?

Second machine is a Victoria. Looks to be good original machine but I haven't seen either machine in person yet. Any ideas what I should offer? Any help is great before I go to view them. Thanks in advance.

Few more photos.

Picked up the Jennings Four Star today. Excited to get it as its my first Jennings!!! Takes a coin and reels spin but no payouts??? Any advice where to start? The jackpot and coin tube are full. Seller said it only paid out once since they had it and was her fathers.

Well, you could trace the entire payout linkage, watching that the vertical fingers are penetrating the payout wheels, then making sure that the horizontal fingers are being pushed by the verticals, etc., etc... but I'd wager a few tokens that you've got some coins stuck sideways in the payout slides. I'd get a flashlight and have a peek up in there. Just a hunch.

When you play the machine do you hear 5 distinct clicks?

If you only hear 4, then the problem is probably the horizontal master slide release bar is all gummed up. This is a common problem on machines that are not played often and is relatively easy to fix by a slot guy.

Marsonion/Dave, Thanks for the help. Yes, A couple of dimes were sideways in the bottom of the payout tube. Paying out now and in dimes from the 60/70's thanks again.
