This is in for a full overhaul. The mechanism is sticky due to some old grease that has hardened.
Update: I pulled the reels off and dipped the mech in the parts cleaner. Hand-cleaned some stuck parts. Oiled the entire mech where supposed too. Everything moves freely now.
The hopper was sticky and needed to be pulled apart and cleaned. Now working freely again.
The coin entry switch is activating the relay, but nothing beyond that (too be sorted).
