Old doorbell button

My doorbell stopped working. I took the button (probably 50+ years old) off the doorframe and found wires running into the back, where they made contact with the button in some way I can’t decipher. The mechanism is covered by a round metal plate, and I see no way to get inside. I can depress the plate, but I can’t remove it or get behind it.
