Bally Kiss (Bally, 1979) Help with As-2518-49 rebuild

[BeagleBob]

I was hoping to rebuild my AS-2518-49 on my Kiss pinball this weekend. I'm not getting 5 or 12v values out of of TP1 and 4 respectively. I was basing the rebuild on Steve Kulpa's page, but when I took a hard look at my board, it looks like someone has already done some work on the board, so it leaves me perplexed on how to proceed. Here are some pics:

It looks like one of the rectifiers was removed and rebuilt with some weird looking contraption. And I really don't understand the two wires that are coming out from the one original remaining rectifier. Is that how it is originally? Any thoughts would be helpful.

to me there is nothing worse than someone who rube goldbergs a pin
I'd rather they just leave stuff alone than to take shortcuts like that
I hope you can fix it without having to buy a new board
