MILLS SLOT MACHINE "CHERRY BELL"   P O S T S C R I P T   29th DEC. 2020
***********************************************************************
SM IS BLOCKING:    TWO   N E W   P R O B L E M S   had to be solved ...
[1]
The "ESCALATOR ASSEMBLY", described in the  "O.P.G.", Ch.11, p.111-117, 
is different from this MILLS SM - But I found a REMARK in the paragraph
"Coin Advance Phase" (p.113): The "Coin Advance Holding Lever" (= CAHL)
is part of an "Anti-Cheat-Device" useful in a "Casino Environment", but
may make problems when using the SM in a private collection ...
The 1st picture shows the  CAHL in its Start = "UP"-Position.  When the
handle is pulled, CAHL fall in "DOWN"-Position (s. 2nd picture <<<<< ).
When the "Escalator" now shift (= left in the picture ), than  the CAHL
MAY BLOCK IT and therefore block the SlotMachine's Cycle.  THIS PROBLEM
WAS SOLVED by removing the CAHL (see 3rd picture).
[2]
When a coin is inserted  and the handle is pulled,  a  "Coin-Detection-
Sensor" is pushed forward until stopped by the coin.  The  "Sensor-Pin"
HAS TO BE ADJUSTED  so, that it hits the coin;  ALSO, when the coin has
fallen slightly out of alignment: This PROBLEM SOLVED too!
