New to this forum, but glad to have found it! My question,.. I have a Jennings Chief 5 cent tic tac toe machine. It is in great shape, with only one issue. Sometimes, when the nickel is dropped, the tab on the chain is just a hair off, and won’t let it fall enough to push the release tab in. After a couple of slaps on the outside, it will move enough to allow the machine to spin. When I remove the mechanism, I can move the tab just a bit, and all is good.
It does not seem to be enough to say the chain has jumped, but maybe it has stretched just a bit. I was hoping to tap into your expertise for an idea, or a direction to a resource. I have added pictures to help in my lack of explanation. Thank you.
