Quoted from Blitzburgh99:The first handle/flicker is loose...nickels are having trouble getting to the second hole. Very weak. The photo shows how it is lower than the others below it. Has anyone experienced this and what would be the troubleshoot/fix?[quoted image]
maybe the spring broke?

I have a sister game called skill parade. Only 250 made. I'm thinking on selling. Out of space and something has to go. Works 100% all flickers have great and even tension. Also has this nickle payout dispenser that appears as a factory add on. Maybe for regions where gambling was legal? Because the paint spot on matches the factory cabinet. Payout drawer is spring loaded to retract. Lots of wood details and metal payout plate. Right now its wired to use the credit counter. But can easily switch to nickle payout with 2 wires. Motor. Payout tube is all there. Located in se wi. Pm me

It is tutankhamn. One of the best classic arcades. Most classic arcades are hard as all shit. Even more reason to keep it. 
Quoted from BlackCatBone:Your Skill Parade has a 3-digit credit reel, so Bally clearly intended the option for the game to be operated for gambling on the redemption model (ala their bingo games). Put another way, if the coin payout mechanism were factory-original, the 3-digit credit reels would not be present. I'd say an enterprising operator added the coin-payout mechanism, and I love that. If you score a winner, is the payout automatically made to the coin cup or is there a knockoff switch you have to trigger to get the coin payoff? I've got a 1950 Turf King that was altered back in the day to do coin payouts, but it has a knockoff switch to trigger the coin mechanism. For anyone still reading, the coin payout mechanism was taken from an earlier Bally Entry game.
you have to change the wires. There are 2 wires to use the counter, or 2 wires to have the payout tube dispense. If this wasn't factory. A whole lot of time and perfect paint match happened to make this. All the art in front, is raised wood inlay. Metal payout printed plate that is stamped. Seems like very high production for a "home made" option. Even the wood is the same as the machine. Seems like it was a secret "add on" behind the scenes.
people are asking me how much for Skill Parade. I'm thinking 3700. It's fully working 100% Plays good.
I officially put the Skill Parade skill roll up for sale. With lots more pictures. Especially of the add on. Which has to be factory. Same wood as the cabinet. Same paint and colors used. Same wiring. Must have been a very rare add on.
