I didn't troubleshoot this, leaving it for someone else to 'tinker with'.(Maybe this is inherent in Bantams that sit for years with little play because its twin had EXACTLY this same issue!!!!!!!!) However all the other pays and plays seem to be right on the money. The only thing I couldn't get it to do however is when I hit the jackpot, the jackpot doors didn't open on their own, even though the coin tube dropped the proper 19 to 20 nickels as its supposed to.The double (main and reserve) jackpots are all there and I could get the doors to open up manually frominside the cabinet. I've played and played this guy for the last several months, and it's never missed a beat!! This antique collectiblehasNOT BEENrestored, yet still works properly. I need the room!!It had been stored away inabasement for a few years with its twin, getting played by its owners every few weeks. Actually I took two of these in trade a while back. It was a very well made, quality piece of Americana. It was very popular due to its cute, diminutive size and its reliability over the years.
