I just bought a Universal slot. This is the first slot Machine I own. I have 2 issues, the arm is stuck down and it does not keep track of credits .i am more concerned about the arm. Any help would be great ! Also when I got it it did not work at all then I figured out the comparitor, it now works but only with buttons and arm is stuck down and not tracking credits. Thanks

Update- Handle fixed!!
I looked at older Universal posting site from 10 years ago. Said to wiggle the ratchet, instead of up and down I wiggled left and right and it released. I put a bit of silicon spray and now works great!!
Thank you NLG for keeping up old posts. It resolved my issue 😀
Now looking to buy the jackpot light on the top and replacement reel strips. Any available?

That will fix you issue for now, HOWEVER, you should disassemble the bottom part and clean the parts, lube them and then it will be good for a long time. only have to remove two screws, then the entire ratchet assembly will be available, the pivot point is the part that collects the gunk and dirt, clean all the parts and lube using some white lithium grease.
as for the credits going on the machine, you have to press the cash out button before playing the machine, then any wins will go to credits, not sure if a setting will change that??
Crazy Double strips will be challenging to find.
check the area around you NICAD battery, they have been known to leak, and it will damage the board and put your machine out of commission!!
Hope this helps.
