Yes, have had it opened and confirmed there is nothing interfering with the system and the string pulley, etc as well as the dial pointer track is clean and smooth. When opened, I can see the slight slippage and when I reverse the direction it catches and then works okay. I have dry wiped the shaft where the string wraps around but no improvement. it originates usually over time as the string wears and becomes smoother as well as a very slight stretch. The cord is not worn, just polished.
Back in the olden days this was not uncommon and why they had the dressing.
