Hey guys,
I'm new to pinball and EM machines, but also a technical person, so I've started shopping a 1968 Gottlieb Fun Land that I traded for. It works, so I started taking apart everything at the door to cleanup etc. I'm at the coin mech, and would like to know the make/model used in my machine.

A couple things I'd like to understand.
1 - My coin chutes, after cleaning, block the coin unless I apply pressure to it to better align the chute with the face plate. This is a 10c and 25c machine, so it should work fine with us currency. Wondering if others have had slight alignment issues with these chutes. I unfortunately didn't test the coin slots before removing.

2 - How the coin return action is supposed to work? In one photo I'm pointing to the wire rocker that somehow unsticks the credit switch, but I'm not sure how it works with the push button return mechanics.

Thanks, and there will be many more questions!

Thank you much. Now just need to know how these coin mechs are supposed to work and who the maker is.

Ah...so for someone like me who has never looked inside an EM until this one, can someone share a photo or link of what the coin mech would look like in a wedgehead like this one? Searching around on Google gives me clues, but nothing definitive.

Makes sense. So much base knowledge I just don't have yet, so I gotta learn about the basics.

Thanks
