What is this and what do I do about it? (noob alert)

I am a complete noob when it comes to restoring pinball machines. I don't even know what the parts are called. I think I bit off more than I can chew with this Capcom Airborne pin. I've taken most of it all apart (the plastic bits) and want to start cleaning it and putting it back together. There are a few issues:

Sticker coming up with dirt under it:



Broken metal:



Broken plastic:




I will probably just glue the broken plastic back together with a little bit of superglue unless you guys tell me it will hurt the plastic (cause it to leave a white chemical stain like I have seen on other stuff fixed with superglue). The broken ramp part should be easy to buy (I would think) but I'll have to investigate what kind of rivots I can use to put it back on. I'm guessing the clear plastic sticker around the "whatever it is called round thing" is something that is easy to find.

Again, any help for this complete noob would really be appreciated!

I will more than likely put this machine back together and resell it. It is just too nice for me to have sitting around. I'd rather have a cheaper machine here to play around with and one with less rare parts.


This is what it looked like when I got it:
