Next issue is that the lockout coil finger stays out on the fourth coin, not the fifth coin. Bypassing the lockout coil it works good.  :Scratch-Head:

 :cheerleader:
I was able to source a NOS reel glass. I put the old one in the slot machine stand since it was the original one. The original one had some paint missing, the casino glued something to the inside glass that created some issues with how the glass looked.

Right now, after playing the slot machine for awhile, the payouts are consistent every time. The slot machine is working really good, actually excellent, considering the state it was in when I got it.  :dancing_party:

Before: handle was frozen, reels were scraping, no hopper, missing a ton of parts, lights were bad, light sockets were bad, wiring was cut, spliced, no candle, upper cabinet unit, reel assembly was literally frozen in time, power cord was toast.

Next issue is that the lockout coil finger stays out on the fourth coin, not the fifth coin. Bypassing the lockout coil it works good.  :Scratch-Head:
Wolftalk what do you think about it?

the coin lockout coil is controlled by an "open at 4th (top)" switch on the odds unit with wires 25-1 and 56-3 on the blades.  It's one of the switches poking out over the white plastic ratchet/gear and the stack is operated by a peg sticking out of the ratchet.  Make sure the switch only opens when the unit is stepped all the way up (4th step, in this case).

it's ok to adjust the switch blades so the peg barely touches the switch blade on the 3rd step, but it can't push the switch open until the 4th.

Still playing without any problems. Payout is exactly on target, it runs like a bat out of hell. Cleaning the reels down to the nuts and bolts makes the reels run smooth, fast, with little effort.
