Anyone have something available? Appears my Buccaneer is missing parts but I am not sure what exactly. The solenoid fires an arm but its not connected to the notched (15 credits) wheel in any fashion.

pdf/pic/video?

Oh that's helpful.. its tells me one thing -- nothing is missing Question then is how does the notch wheel turn? Is it just the spring unwinding force?

The solenoid fires (or I move it by hand) and the metal comes away from the notches - the black wheel should rotate and move 1 credit, right?

How do I crank up the tension on that spring then?
Does the unit come out of the machine easily? It looks like there is some magic and it might come out - or do I have just unscrew it etc?

That is an awesome picture/diagram. I will take a close look at it tonight and hopefully not have to tear anything apart.
So A-1190 fires (yep) then it forces a-1051 away from the sprocket, a-2441 goes down, a-1279 goes toward the backglass, a-2484 comes forward and grabs the next tooth and adds the credit. Or so goes the theory.
I will confirm...

Argh! I am missing a part .. it was apparently removed! A-1345. The piece that actually drives the sprocket. No wonder it wasn't making any sense looking at my machine.
Can I beg here for more parts .. this time some $$ for your troubles???

[UPDATE]
*Perhaps* Its just A-1051 ... its really gunked up and not moving.. the missing part doesn't appear to be needed?

Quoted from boilerman:

I have a few credit reels that have had parts removed. I will check to see if I have what you need
a-1345
are you sure that is the issue? I am not sure it is.

On second look .. I tend to agree .. as I just wrote .. you are too quick for me

You guys friggin' rock! A small squirt of wd-40 and a few back-n-forths and it is loose and working perfectly! Since the credit wheel was disabled years ago .. it just "froze" up and all that was required was some lube. Would never have found that without the help!
