I have the 1959 pinball machine Golden bells (new to me) and I am having trouble solving a problem as it is my first machine.

I first plugged in the machine and was able to play a complete game, then the game board stayed lit up but the flippers nor bumpers would not work (like it did not recognize a coin starting a new game). Then the whole pinball machine went dead the next time I plugged it in. Now I cant do anything. Any methodical trouble shooting steps would be appreciated since i am a pinball newbie. Can post pics if needed.

These are the pictures but I guess I will need to add some of the outside of the machine too at some point. The fuses are good as I did check them.

Can anyone tell me what these parts are to....These parts where left spare in the cabinet of the golden bells changer drawer and I can't see anywhere obvious that they were removed from.

Also, it appears that something is missing from this bell to cause it to ding. Where do I order what I need

There is a loose wire on the right side of this transformer see pic of black wire and I can't tell if it was soldered right onto the spare terminal right below this wire. I have been able to get this machine running without this hooked up.
