Awesome game, congrats. The ball won't fall out of the lower playfield if the gorilla is set up properly. Sounds like the spring for the return arms is missing or a return arm is broken, possibly both. One of mine broke and the ball started to fall out because the gorilla's arms would flop all the way back when the playfield was lifted. Marco has the return arms and spring, though the spring can probably be found anywhere.

As for the targets, the one swinks listed above should work, though it's smaller than the original. The ones you're looking for are the same as the five in the lower playfield, I have not been able to find any.
