Album - 1946 Jennings Club Chief Nickel Slot Machine

This Jennings Super Deluxe Club Chief is in for a full overhaul and the installation of the missing jackpot, which is included in a box of parts.

Update: With all the missing parts on this machine. It puzzles me as to why! This machine was set up for a coinless operation, but there was a solenoid that might control that. Levers are missing here and there. Wiring with switches that don't make sense, but I'm told by my colleagues that they have seen this before, where they convert these mechanical machines into EM machines.

The jackpot assembly that is provided is the early one, and this machine does not have all the levers for it. So basically, the jackpot will dump, but not reset.

The customer supplied wiring harness will need a full rewire (I'll have to send that out). Transformer is not correct, wrong size.

Parts Needed:

  • Complete Nickel Payout Slides
  • Complete Vertical Fingers & Springs
  • Complete Horizontal Fingers & Springs
  • 15 Bulb Wiring Harness and Transformer
  • Handle Spring
  • Coin Overflow/Seperator Assembly V4-162 CSP
  • Fork Assembly V4-1531A CSP
  • Upper Feeler Pin Lever for Escalator with Pin
  • Vertical Payout Springs
  • Payout Slide Re-Set Lever
  • Payout Push Rod Safety Arm Assembly Complete
  • Ratchet Dogg with Bolt
  • Jackpot Reset Lever

Some of the above parts have been found. Thank you to The Bentcoin for his help. There are still some parts missing. I'll update the above list as I find them.

Update: Customer is going to take this as is. If I find the parts, I'll keep in touch with them. In the meantime, it is a working machine without coins.
