The YOKE connections was the final culprit. Set was fixed! I had to rework all PC boards for CSJ's (solder) and make a deflection board (hard plastic) to keep a drop or two of coolant off PC boards (saw a little on board) and go thru and do several alignments and a few other things... Was a major pain in the butt... but the YOKE plugs were the final fix! Set looked great and played for days w/o no problems after. Thanks to all!
