Today we discovered through a German pinball forum (flippermarkt.de) that one of the error messages we received (Justage fehler) was because the batteries in the circuit board were empty.
We also found that many of the rubber bands have worn out. Rubber bands are wrapped around several pinball items, like the slingshot. When the ball hits the band, the band activates the metal plate that pushes against the elastic, and so pushes the ball away. The visor is not working because its rubber band is worn down, and so on.
These have probably gone bad because the previous owner left it out without glass plate. Shame.
We managed to play a little bit of "pinball" yesterday. We put it in "switch test mode", when the machine activates all the switches one by one. This causes balls being occasionally moved into the plunger area. The flippers can be operated during the test, and so we can, very basically, play the keep-up game, seeing where everything goes.
We discovered that a ball may get stuck in the visor section, between the two "eye holes".
About that possible wire solution: I was wrong. The spot I found was not the location where the loose wires need to be soldered to.
