Just a thought, maybe worth looking into.

I had a meteor when it came out. After a year or so, I started having all kinds or weird switch issues.

I finally started on each leaf blade switch in the game. On many, the fiberboard spacers between the leaf blades, appeared "wet".

I'd lower them from playfield, clean with lacquer thinner, dry, and with a jeweler file, file the spacers on the solder/lug side between the blades to thoroughly clean.

I think the flux was mucking up the works. After a thorough cleaning, I had no further issues.
