So I have a restored SS and i am having issues with he diverter to lock balls and the right popper(Spider Hole). Basically they are intermittenly working the right popper will take ball after ball etc and then all of a sudden the VUK dies. It knows the ball is there so i don't think its an opto issue but it won't kick up the ball. on the other side the diverter won't fully open or close at different times. Every time i unplug the molex connector on the spider hole VUK it will reset and for for a bit and then problem repeats. I thought i had fixed the issue when i realized the ribbon cable from the Driver board to the CPU was loose worked for 20 games or so then tonight problem repeated and the Ribbon cable was attached. Any ideas appreciated

That ribbon cable is probably bad. I had to change one for a similar reason.

Mine did something similar, it was the ASIC needed to be pulled and reseated.

While it was out I took a small wire brush to buff the contacts on both socket and chip, and (very carefully) bent the pins on the chip out a little under the microscope to add some tension.

No more problems.
