    does the machine pay out?? keep in mind that the action of the jackpot paying out and the balls falling from the jackpot is the action that resets the jackpot seesaw..

    pictures posted hear would be a great help..

    a vid would be even better..

    and of course

    I have a Monako Grand Prix on the bench right now. I agree with Mopar that photos or videos would help. Most likely it is dirty linkage binding and not allowing the cycle to complete, but it is possible that there are missing parts or something else going on.

    Thank you for the reply ! This is the first time on a forum, so please go easy on me ! The jackpot will pay out, and load, but the seesaw is always stuck in the down position, it seems as if someone at some point tried to change the settings? the counter works up top, but I am at a complete loss as to how to get the machine to pay out, I wonder if something is missing? it was carried on as a carry on on an American airlines flight judging by the tape i found inside the machine. I built the cabinet out of scrap pine, happy with it so far but just cant seem to figure it out....what a cool friggin hobby though ! any help really appreciated

    How many balls do you have in the top hopper?

    Close to about 50 I'd say....I'm just not sure if that seesaw is supposed to reset every time a ball goes in the tulip...it works once then stays down...am I correct in my thinking that a certain number off balls in the chamber triggers the jackpot? It does look as though someone tried to alter the payout possibly?

    you need more balls..

    at least 100 to 150 for it to load and operate correctly and that will only work for one or two cycles.. 500 more balls would be a good place to start.. the machine will hold 1000..

    fill the back top hopper and then give it a try..
