IGT 4-reel slot help

Hi, I'm new to this site and while I have lots of coin op equipment (especially video arcade games & pinballs), this is my first slot machine!


I have this 4-reel IGT slot machine, model 1643B made in Nov 1986 (see attached pictures).  I'm not sure what type of IGT slot machine this is?  From what I've read on the forums, is it perhaps an M+?
When I got it, it scrolled "Tilt - Call attendant" on the matrix display.  The lithium battery on the board was dead so I replaced that, now it says "No Spin 1", and the leftmost reel doesn't spin when the machine initializes (although it spins freely when I move it by hand).


There was a broken piece in the bottom of the cabinet (I took a picture of the bits that were left), so I'm guessing this is the problem?


I have several questions:
1) Does anyone have a manual for this machine, I can't seem to find anything?
2) Is that broken piece what is keeping the machine from being able to spin the first reel?  If so, any ideas on where I can find a replacement part?
3) I'm not sure how to take the reel assembly apart?


Thanks for any help that can be provided!
Dave

cowboygames:
I'd start by swapping reel 1 with any other to see if the problem stays with the position or the reel to narrow down where the problem is. Also, compare the part/piece you found to a known working reel to see if it came from a reel in the first place. Try this and see what you get then post back

arcadegameguy:
Wow, thanks for the fast response!  I'm not sure how to take the reel assembly apart?  Since I'm not sure what type of slot this is, I can't find a manual for it?


Thanks!

cowboygames:
Should be 4 desperate reel assemblies, though my experience with that model is 0. Look for a screw, release lever, whatever that will allow the individual reel to be removed. Pay close attention to anything you have to disconnect to get it out. The older games weren't as repair friendly as the newer ones are

cowboygames:
It appears you've removed the reel set from the machine, maybe post some pictures of that from different sides so we can get a look
