Anyone in the Phoenix-Tempe Arizona area?

[Richard13]

Hi I'm new to this forum and am enjoying it a lot. Two weeks ago I had major abdominal surgery
and will be laid up for quite a while. Started tinkering with my old slots and need some assistance
From anyone that has the time and desire and facination with these old mechanical marvels.

Bought this castle front a while ago as a basket case and got most of it to look better and operate
Almost correctly but I can't lift or move these anymore by my self.

Not only am I confused as to what you are asking. Sell or help move them but you can edit your photos so easily to turn them right side up. Better yet take them with your camera in the correct position. Rick B

Thanks for the reply Rick, the photos look oriented correctly on my device sorry if
They don't on yours. I would like help taking mechanism out and helping me figure
out why the coin slides don't retract or pay out. They stay forward when handle is
pulled. I must have put something in backwards or upside down.

I also have recently acquired a rol a top that needs cleaning inside but it's too
heavy for me to remove from case.

So basically someone to help another collector out tinkering with a couple machines and spend some time talking
slots and coinop

I apologize as I see they are large and when you click on them they are in the correct position. Rick

THANKS KENNY B! Ken made some time to stop by today and see if he could figure out why my refurbished yard sale find
Would not let the coin slides move back into the pay position. I must have fiddled with it and taken the slides out a have dozen times.

Ken and his wife came by and less than 30 seconds looking at the mechanism in the cabinet he say aha here is the problem.
The anti cheat lever was down holding the payoff from happening! A minute later the mech was on my table and it was released and bam it pays!

He made some recommendations on my re cleaning of the escalator and my $300 dollar special is working after who knows how many years.

It's great to be a member of this forum and to chat with so many knowledgable addicted enthusiasts! Even the skill stops work and the gold award tokens dispense.
