It's interesting that OP only wanted an award card, and even admitted from the beginning that JP plus top pay out on three in a window wasn't conventional.
And then being the anally retentive bunch we are, the conversation quickly revolved around why and how this had happened.

And I am certainly not going to be any different!
I reckon the original top payment (having had a squint at the photos OP provided) had a top payment of 20 coins for 3 bars in any position in the window. As OP has now fitted a JP that of course is also dumped at the same time.
OP doesn't want to change this as the Grandsprogs like it.
However the "Slotty'ness" in us can't leave the idea alone "How to improve the arrangement". So totally ignoring that he has got what he wants .....
* A machine to keep his grandchildren happy ..... and quiet.
* A source for his award card.
We want to get the machine doing what it should, even though the owner doesn't.

So far as I can see the proper way to get it paying 20 plus JP for 3 in a row (standard Mills/Sega top pay out) is to remove the reel bundle and split the pay out discs in order to blank off the two outside holes on each BAR alignment. Then it'd only pay out 20 + JP on 3 BARS in a line.
However the quickest and easiest way to do it would only entail using One of these products and two butter knives to slide a blob of it in between the pay out reels and do the same. By smearing it over the top and bottom holes and onto the metal of the pay out reels I think it would set steel hard and do the same job.

As for the Grandchildren that's a much more expensive and time consuming problem, perhaps emigrating and changing your name might help.

Hi coppinpr
I must be doing something wrong sending you a pm. Could you please send me one and I will try to reply. Thanks.

Thanks Bp for your post it was probably my fault for not explaining myself correctly.

No need for you to apologise. I was amused that nearly all of us focused on what it was doing and trying to advise you on one thing you hadn't a problem with.

I can understand why the thread went the way it did. In my real-life job, if a chap came in with, say, a '60s Lambretta scooter, and asked if I could make a gear-position strip that read 1st-3rd-N-2nd-4th, because that was what the gearbox was doing, I would want to see what was wrong with the gear linkage, rather than make-up a new indicator strip.

[badpenny]

Have you tried checking the slack in the cable, it may be bouncing when he changes gear?

[brigham]

My first thought would be 'are the cables the right way round?'.
Don't forget; there's a cable to pull going 'up' the 'box, and another to come back down...

[badpenny]

If it was an Ldb then I've said possibly as the cylinder was vertical with plenty of room for the cables to end up the wrong way round. However you said it was a 60s so I'd expect it to be an Li or TV, perhaps SX which are horizontal cylinders in line with the gearbox and giving less room for confusion.

Has it been converted to post decimal, or is it on imperial petrol?
