I'm working on a friends cadet and got it working pretty well, except for one thing. The small cherry payouts don't pay out. The cherrys and bell and cherrys and lemon pay fine, but the small pay 3 coins doesn't. Any ideas? I'm sure that its something simple I'm missing here. I have no backround on this machine since it didn't work at all when I brought it home..This is the last issue to fix, then back it goes to my friends house. Thanks for any help! PJ

found the problem, nevermind..DOH. PJ

Oh YEAH? Does the jackpot get fed a nickel every time you get a pair of cherries? Does the reserve floor slide back and forth as it should on each pull until the main JP is full, then latch closed? Does the reserve build up and then hold back the pin at the bottom of the escalator when it's full? Does the reserve feed the JP two pulls after a jackpot win? Have you checked ALL of that--? Well, HAVE YOU???

Why yes I have.. Noisiest machine I have ever heard also. Weird how the reserve jackpot lets coins into the main. Extra noise added to an already noisy machine..Forced the jackpot by lining up the bars and everything works. Specipk thanks to Patrick for his help on this one. One thing I am not is a credit hog..

That's awful kind of you, but truly, it weren't nothing. And yes, definitely noisy! The quiet hydraulics of the timer is completely wasted with all of that banging and scraping going on. And rarely does the pneumatic cushion help at all... usually it just delays completion of the cycle, after letting everything go bang and smack with no dampening whatsoever.
