When the pay slides are built up, it will also be necessary to shim up the pay
out slide cover assembly by the same amt. as the total build up dimension. I
glue washers on the underside of the slide cover, making sure to trim the in
side of the washers so that the slides will clear. For type of glue used, see
article titled "Maintenance Tips"
When re-assembling slides, it is a good idea to leave the spring from the 1st
payout slide disconnected so the rest of the slides won't tip.
After slide assembly and operational check, it is also necessary to trim the
build up amt. from the bottom of the coin tube so that it willline up correctly
with the installation screw. The tube is easily trimmed with a pair of Right
Hand aviation snips.
A small rivet kit may be purchased from Wico Corp., 6400 Grosse Point
Road, Niles, Illinois. 60648. (Write for free catalog), it is advertised on pg.
82 of the current catalog as #G, Small Rivet assortment #23-3452 at $1. 50 per
100. Also, on page 67 there are all sizes of silver contact points which are
really silver rivets and these can also be used , altho they are somewhat
expensive. This Co. requires a $10.00 minimum purchase. Further, they DO
NOT hold to listed catalog prices so I suggest that you write for a quote on any
sizeable order. I ordered a $1. 75 listed magnetic pickup tool from them not
lonq aqo and the invoice charqe was $4. 50 (Sears had the identical tool for
$1.75)!
In determining which slides to "Shim", I take all the slides out and manu
ally operate them on the table top one at a time until the payoff varies from the
"norm". Generally, when a coin protrudes 1/2 coin thickness or more above
the top slide surface, then "shimming" is in order. I think you'll find the re
sults well worth the effort. It's nice to have your Slot Kick out the right amt.
When coins became thicker and created problems in payoff, some Mfgr's.
