Quoted from gdonovan:Blackout update; recapped the power board and replaced the forty way and touched up the pins, looking for cold solder joints.
Hakku de-soldering gun is da' bomb! Made short work of the task, wish I purchased one years ago.
Which made not a wit of difference, machine still glitches out when the furnace kicks on. Not too worried about it, won't be in the workshop much longer. Just odd this is the only pin that has done it so far. Should stick a meter on the MPU for entertainment and see what the voltage is dropping too when it happens.
Thanks to Ed at Great Plains for the prompt service! And yes I recapped the high voltage section as well even though it has LED displays, next guy might convert it back and caps that size are pocket change.
Waiting for the post man to come in, he has cap kit for Flash Gordon. Going to recap the sound board and see if the speech problems clear up.

Make sure you take a green scrubby or something to the fuse holder clips and ends of the fuses to improve the connection.
Also loosen and tighten the voltage regulator mounting screws. They are part of the circuit and can cause the 5V to dip under certain situations.
