I haven't been able to find a replacement for the plastic below the houses. It doesn't even look like it's included with any of the plastic sets that used to be available. Is there a replacement available for the part pictured?

I think either your photo got mirrored or you're using "stage left" where I think most pinball call outs and stuff use the players perspective. Either way he made it pretty easy to see which one he was talking about.

I don't know what the mech for the bell looks like but if it's a coil it might be something as easy as a worn out sleeve or sticky plunger. The knocker in my gorgar had a similar problem and that was it. Sometimes non- flipper coils also need arebuild.

If the sleeve or plunger have a defect this can prevent it from ringing some of the time. You can test it by firing the coil off a bunch of times by grounding it and seeing if it has intermittent problems. Don't ground the wrong side.

Good call, although it wouldn't isolate the coil itself as much as it would include the signalling process and wiring.
