New Gin Machine Not Paying Out
Quite some time back I worked with the fine people here to restore my tray that was broken. Well, I got it fixed up but then it went to the back burner for a while. I built a cabinet to mount it on the wall and I also did some other maintenance. I replaced the glass, some missing screws, and ended up removing the lock and attaching a pull cord to it so I can open the machine easily.
So, I have finally mounted my machine to the wall. Whee!
But, sadly, it does not payout. It used to though. In fact, it happened before when I was first tooling with and and I ended up turning it around and around to get the hung up balls out and then it worked. When I finally mounted it, I tipped it to the side and now it no longer pays out.
The ball will get in the tulip or whatnot and it will open/close but alas no ching ching! The balls that fall in there do not go to the reject tray or anything else, they are somewhere in the machine. I started to take it apart to see deeper in the machine but then I got to a point where the pieces were being held on the wood with staples. I did not want rip out staples.
Anyone familiar with these beasts? I do not know exactly know the chain of events that are required for payouts.
I am so excited to get this on the wall. And the kids are salivating to use it but no payout
