I don't believe ground mods are an improvement for Gottlieb system 3 games; decent connectors are used. It doesn't hurt if executed nicely.
Inspect the fuseholder at the transformer assy. Maybe the fuse is sitting loose there after it has been replaced many times.
I also would like to mention the brass AMP lugs which are connecting the wires to the rectifiers. Are these still healthy and making a good connection? Sometimes they break and loose tension. I prefer to solder the wires directly to the rectifiers' lugs. Did you also check the fuseholder under the playfield; is it still providing good tension to the fuse?
