Review of 'Customer Testimonials'
by Jeff Elfendahl Date Added: Friday 15 July, 2016
IF YOU ARE IN NEED OF HIGHLY SKILLED, VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE, EXPERIENCED, RIGHT TO THE POINT, PARTS ON HAND, SLOT REPAIR SERVICE and PERSONAL -- LOOK NO FURTHER. SQUIRES & CORRIE IS THE REAL DEAL. Squires & Corrie offer 58 years of experience. Honest, NO RIP-OFFS and ALL ASPECTS of Slot Machine Repair and Restoration. Here’s why…

I have a 1946 Mills 5c Golden Falls Slot Machine which had 2 issues I knew of that needed attention. The 2 were: incorrect pay-out and total locking-up after and incorrect pay-out of coins. To say the least, I was in desperate need of an experienced Slot Machine Repair/Service person. I found Squires & Corrie on the internet and made 5 toll free phone calls expressing my concerns. I decided to take a chance and drive the 3 hour round trip to Squires & Corrie in San Mateo, California. Upon removal of my Slot’s Mechanism, the from load jack pot immediately tripped open. Steve Squires indicated this should not happen. It took Steve seconds to see the part that the jack pot trip lever rested upon was not the correct one. He re-tooled the trip lever rest lobe by hand and the jack pot now functions properly. On the first manual pull, to get the machine spinning, Steve noticed the machine was operating too fast. This can cause excessive wear and tear on the machine. It took Steve about 2 minutes to slow the machine down with a few adjustments on the clock fan blades. The next 2 manual pulls and setting the 3 reels to indicate a pay-out, Steve was able to observe the pay-out & lock-out issues in a FLASH. All 5 pay out slides were not sliding true. They were sliding at a slight angle up, causing incorrect pay-out and a total locking-up of the machine. Using only his fingers, Steve noticed that the 5 pay-out slide springs were loose. He snipped each with cutters for correct tension. The 5 slides alignment repair required a bit more time, perhaps 3o minutes. All 5 slides needed to be taken out, surfaces smoothed, re-adjusted for trueness of sliding, proper spring tension and all tighten down. This is when Steve noticed that there were no lock washes holding the slides down. In time, this will cause slides to become loose. Steve installed the correct lock washes and screws. Steve then noticed that the complete Operating Lever Stop Assembly & Extension Wire were missing. He left the room for about 5 minutes and returned with the completely original Mills Assembly! He installed it and all was well, it took 15 minutes at best. When looking at my 5c Escalator, Steve noticed that the springs located at the end o the coin detector & check detector lever were missing. He once again had the parts on hand and installed them for correct operation of the coin escalator Steve then began to lubricate and adjust each and every moving part. He used not 1 but 3 different lubricants, depending on what is getting lubricated. My machine now spins correctly and very smooth. Handle pulls down and retracts easy, operates quiet, pays out correct and no locking-up what so ever. You are invited to be on hand, look over Steve’s shoulder and ask questions during each and every aspect of your service. One last thing… Squires & Corrie have an Original Mills Company Key making machine with blank keys! I had duplicates made while I was there. Heaven forbid I loose a key. Without a key you’ll need to destroy your machine’s lock to get back in.
