Flaky Spin Lever

[PachiFool]

Hi! I have an Onimusha 3 that recently started acting up. At first, it would occasionly not spin the reels when the lever was depressed. Now the lever needs to be continuously jiggled to get an occasional spin. All wiring has been checked and nothing is loose. Does anyone have a switch for sale or know where I can get one? Thanks!

there should be a small board inside the spin lever, the connections may be loose there.

I've also used contact cleaner on them in the past when they acted up.

I cleaned all contacts when I originally checked them. I'm not sure how to remove the switch to get at the board inside. There's a black plastic cylinder but I don't know how it's attached. I don't see any clips and it doesn't seem to be screwed on. Any ideas?

i checked two of mine, one has a large hex nut holding it in and the other has a large wing type nut,

Most of the spin levers I've had apart are opto-interupters or proximity detectors. Could be some dirt inside, something/connection loose inside or just plain failing.
