The reset crank on my Tokheim 39 is not functioning, the window covers on the digits are frozen over the digits. What is the best way to solve this prob?

well this can be as easy as some WD 40 sprayed on the computer over the course of a few days. Worst case you may have to take the computer apart. So lets pray for an easy solution. First, take the face plates off on both sides. After that, if possible take the computer covers off(this just makes it easier to reach all the areas. Soak in WD 40 2-4 times a day and see if you can get any movement after day one. DONT BE TOO FORCEFUL! Remember that the computer may have rusted out parts. If you can get a little movement repeat the step until wheel covers are free. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

I had larry do a wayne 40 computer for me and was it a mess really rusted. He did an excellent job looks like new. He said it was the worst one he had done. He had lots of labor in that one and he treated me more than fair on it. Strait up honest guy.A++
