Hey guys!
I picked up an old Crane Game for my kids for this past Christmas. Got it cleaned up and working great... UNTIL- they had a party and tons of kids from the neighborhood came over. They had shoved over 50 (seriously!) quarters into the thing, jamming/breaking the Coin Comparator. While trying to fix THAT- I accidentally bumped the 12v Red to the Black wire (I know, should've turned it off). There was a spark....
Now, there's a clicking sound & spark coming from what I THINK is a relay? I actually caught a picture of the spark (see the image URL).

I have tried for MONTHS to locate the manufacturer, or anyone who knows the board- can't find anything. Can I just replace that one relay, and be back in business? Or, do I need to replace the entire board, and find a cooperating coin mech to go with it (the ones I've tried don't work).
I'd REALLY appreciate any/all help! My kids are DEVASTATED it's not working, and I'm DETERMINED to get it going again.
THANK YOU!!!
