The escalator is essentially the part of the slot machine that accepts coins, makes sure that they are the correct denomination, rejects slugs and determines if the player is using checks. We’re going to start by removing the escalator, which is really simple. In any event, we need to disassemble all of the parts related to the case and cabinet. Generally the terms “case” and “cabinet” and interchangeable, although the wood sides and base are the actual cabinet, while the entire assembly of wood sides, base and front castings are often considered to be the case. Compared to the work we’ve already done disassembling the slot machine mechanism, the tear-down of the case and cabinet is a snap.
