It worked fine, then all of a sudden, you could still drop a quarter in, but the reels have stopped turning. The quarter does however, still advance across the escalator. Any ideas what to check here? Great site by the way. Not a lot of info out there on Mills slots. I bought a Mills War Eagle slot a few weeks ago.

One part in particular was the arm that stopped the clock operating on a fixed shaft with a tension spring - I bought a Mills Bursting Cherry (Brown Front) in near perfect condition (what a bargain that was been moth balled for 30 years) and other than a spring that appered to be attached to no where, I pondered for ages wondering where this spring needed to be connected - Now I know from your excellent visual and documented instruction. Keep up the good work - a very interesting and helpful web site.
