Most of the time the flipper seems fine. Other times it will go completly dead for a flip or two and then back to normal. Other times it will spasm a little then go dead and be back to normal.

Any ideas on what to check or what to replace?

I would look for loose/cracked solder at all the wires and connectors in the flipper circuit, including the flipper board.

I was meaning to email you about this because I didn't get a chance to talk to you again at the tourney. If you haven't done so, clean the contacts on the leaf switches for the flipper buttons. I use a business card wetted with alcohol and drag it between the contacts.
