Quoted from AndrewP:

In particular, from the photo above, it looks like the wipers are skewed so that the blade does not sit flat against the contact point, it is curling up at a 15-degree angle and maybe only touching the ‘edge’ of the wiper.

Quoted from JackOfPots:

Thank you all.
The upper right wiper in relation to the photo is clearly not making solid contact. Putting my finger on it and hitting the the plunger on the left kick out will now trigger both kickouts firing. Depending on where I make contact it will fire multiple times or indefinitely. This isn't consistent. The other stepper and bonus reel I can't duplicate this behavior. I'm trying not to go off on my own here since the potential to make this worse seems high. Am I looking at cleaning contacts or 'bending' the wiper to make better contact?
4th issue I didn't state in original post. The right lower advance bonus sling advances both the right and left bonus track one step. The left sling only advances the left. Unknown at what point this was an issue.

One thing to also note is the contact board is adjustable slightly. Those two screws that are hidden behind the wiper blades. If you loosen them you can rotate the contact board slightly clockwise or counter clockwise to make sure you are getting full contact. They are not in the easiest position to loosen or tighten but you can do it.
