I'll try some WD40, but it doesn't feel sticky, it feels broken. When the machine arrived, there was a small piece of broken ABS plastic that fell out of the spin knob.

It ain't over yet...
The start lever. So I finally got the door apart to replace my start lever. Found out that my screws aren't aluminum, I just didn't realize that the screwdriver i was using wasn't magnetic.
Got the whole thing apart, and found that they sent me - you guessed it - the wrong spin knob. So I took the existing one apart. It seems to work optically, rather than by connecting to a contact point. The steel lever itself was actually bent. with the help of a very mechanically/electrically inclined friend, we got the knob *mostly* straightened, and used epoxy to glue the cracked plastic back together.
Good news - the spin knob works in both directions. Just to be safe, I am having 5stardeal.com send me the correct part. I'll keep it in reserve shoudl the day come that I need it.
Oh, I also removed the sticker from the belly glass, replaced the flouresecent bulb, and polished up the original glass. My machine looks great!!
So at long last, Mahjong Story now seems fully playable, and I'm excited to start showing it off to people.
