Ideal slider problem

[Sodak Bob]

I was hoping to access my Ideal coin mech, and took the screws out of the top (silver)portion.  I had no luck, and now i see the screws had nuts on them that fell down into the coin box when i unsrewed them.  I then fixed the original problem (dimes hanging up) and now I am at a loss as how to put the nuts back on the screws. (top silver cap is now loose) I turned a small problem into a headache.  Any help is much appreciated....

     Removing the coin box exposes 2 screws that hold the cover on.
Remove them and lift the whole cover off to service it.
