I recently purchased Jacks Open and after performing a complete tear down, I started playing it for the first extended period of time and noticed an issue: the 10,000 score reel advanced fine until it got to 90,000, where it typically got stuck. Sometimes it wouldn't get all the way to 9 (more like 8 3/4ths). The 100,000 light would come on but it would not advance no matter how many points I scored.
I played with the reel - manually advancing it. Same issue - it would bog down when it got to 9. I took the reel apart and noticed this issue with the circuit board. I can't confirm that the placement lines up with 9, but I have to suspect it does. And that the wiper is getting stuck at that worn spot, which prevents it from advancing.
Has anyone else ever encountered this? Can the board be repaired? Or does it need to be replaced?
Thanks in advance for suggestions.
