The ball's stuck in the bottom? Might be a wiring problem. Any soldered connections, gently wiggle them (with the game off) and see if they come out without forcing them. If they do, you'll need to resolder it-if the connection is on the coil itself, there's not as much chance of destroying something with a bad solder job.
For everything else look at the boards if you know how to open the backbox, see if anything looks burned, or jiggle the connections.
@jeriellsworth thx jeri, the notion that i'm able to repair a pinball machine anyway, is totally thanks to you! its so much fun to discover the techniques used to build a machine older than myself!
you are clueless...good luck
