Very common problem on pinballs and transport never helps!
Just FYI - as mentioned earlier always take super care poking around a machine whilst its on. Sometimes you can getaway with a small zap, other times cop a big whack or worse.
Not only can you damage yourself, but worse can sometimes the machine! All you need to do is drop a screw, have a wire exposed and can short lots of stuff...
Good your well on your way to having the machine back up and running.
