Rol A Top jackpot

[damikeguy]

I hit a jackpot on my .25 coin front Rol A Top. It paid out just as it should of. But what it did next was not so good. On the next pull it closed the #1 jackpot and opened the number two jackpot and dumped that. I could pull the top castings off, stop the clock and try this again giving it a good look but i thought i would ask the experts first. Where should i look first? Thanks in advance.

Your jackpot is either gummed up and needs to be cleaned, very common because they don't get used much, or the reset lever on the bottom right of your mech, looking at the mec from the back, is not going forward enough to reset the jackpot.

watlingboy,
Thanks again. The jackpot reset lever was compressing all the way and could not reset the jackpot. I removed the the jackpot assembly and there was some hardened yellow grease on the two vertical rods on the right side of the assembly. Not much but just enough to compress the reset lever spring. I cleaned it up good and everything works great.
