The double bonus doesn't collect on both sides. Watching the bonus unit reset, it skips over gear teeth.
Double bonus not collecting: bonus stepper mainspring overwound
Cause: Someone had wound the stepper's mainspring too tight (probably to cure an earlier sticky unit). Worn gear teeth added to it.
Checks
- Clean the stepper so it moves freely.
- Watch it step and reset; if it skips teeth, check the mainspring tension.
Fix
- Back the mainspring off by one turn.
