Cherry, Cherry, I'll get you yet

Hi I have a Sega Crazy Bells 1970's - the mechanism that spins can be manually stopped I use my hand but you could use a ruler or something similar - the reels then spin freely for a short while and you can set up a manual win, if you do this please do not touch the symbols only the metal strips that hold then in.

Sorry didn't explain reason for forced wins - if the machine payout jams on a low win you can line up a big win which usual clears the problem
