Mills Vest Pocket help needed

[slotsdirect.com]

I have a Vest Pocket with the reel strips totally removed. I ordered new strips but need advice on how to figure out how to apply the strips in the right sequence and locations....any help greatly appreciated

Cycle the machine, and then hold the clock fan blade mid cycle. Spin the reels until you think you have it centered on where ALL 3 jackpot symbols (can't remember on Vest Pocket, but might be 3 Cherries) centered, and let go of the fan blade. Let the machine cycle all the way, to make sure it pays off the full 20 coin payoff.

You now know that all the jackpot symbols should be located across the middle line, so place them that way. Each strip should also have a number on the back corresponding as to which is #1, #2, and number #3.

OK Great I got the new reel strips in place....thanks for the help. Now a new qquestion. I have a spring on the inside above the coin slider that I cannot figure out what it does and what the right end of the spring should be clipped onto. I have a photo and I have studied the manual and cannot find the answeer. I wish I had another Vest Pocket to look at. Please if anyone can help me just look at the picture and let me know. Thanks very much !

Also, that flat head screw should have a shoulder or step under the screw head to allow the slide to move under it
