I've recently started to restore my Addams Family machine to it's former glory. I've had it for about 10 years, and I've neglected it. It's been burried under clutter and now I don't remember why I quit playing it in the first place.

My upper left flipper and multiball magnets don't work anymore, but I thought they did when I last had it the game running. I know they have both worked while in my possession.

I've done solenoid tests.
Neither do anything with tests.

I did find a broken orange wire under the playfield that seems to have connected to the lower left flipper. I soldered it where I think it goes, but can someone provide me a picture of the lower left flipper that shows where the wires are soldered? I'm assuming it's 2 orange and 1 black. I want to make sure I've put it back correctly.

Are there any other fuses I should check? Do solenoids go bad?

Are there any fuses I should check for the magnets?

EDIT - I have been searching the forums for fixing these issues as well. I only posted a new topic, because I can't tell from pics I've found if I've soldered my orange wire back where it should go.
EDIT2 - I also swapped fuses on the "extra flipper board" and nothing changed.

Does the lower left flipper solenoid have 2 orange wires soldered at the same point? help!

The coils on both upper and lower left only have one orange wire. The eos switches have 2 small orange wires together.

Thanks. The broken orange wire I found was by the lower left flipper. I guess I should have said switches

So the wiring "looks" good, but still no dice.
