Thanks for ALL the great helpful replies everyone! I checked every tip given 
and performed that I thought it needed. Lastly I DID solder all the large 
yoke plugs, (there were some very small ones on there also but I only 
soldered the large ones) and so far it has been playing flawlessly - Only 
time will tell. I did find coolant fluid on the Main SMPS board and I 
cleaned that up VERY well, problem was still there after clean-up. I even 
made a large plastic deflector for future prevention of any coolant that may 
leak out once the set warms up and coolant leaks out the expansion camber. 
Soldering Yoke plugs helped BUT ONLY time will tell. I'll post in a few days 
if all is still ok. Thanks All.
