The safety slide lever assembly is the closest thing an antique slot machine has to a pinball machine’s “tilt” mechanism. It’s secured by a shoulder screw visible in the photo above, plus a spring that is attached to the underside of the base plate. I chose to remove it now, so that’s what the photos reflect.
