Quoted from Homeslice666:

Grumpy, I replaced SRC-6 and Q14. Bulbs on full time again. Attract mode normal. After idling a few minutes the game began acting very erratic, various solenoids firing rapidly and random in-game sounds going off. This lasted a second or two before I killed power.
Pulled board, no shorts or obvious damage.
My next course of action is to replace U17 and Q14 again. Probably Q10 for good measure since I bought spares. If you do not suggest this please let me know.

Sounds like garbage on the data or address bus. An easier solution before you pull out the soldering iron again. Is to either replace the CPUs (the chips themselves not the board) with known good ones, or use a logic probe to poke around the pins to see if any critical ones aren't strobing. Preferably the logic probe first along with voltage checks with a meter to make sure nothings wrong that's going to also destroy your good CPUs. It could be a PIA too, which you can also do the same procedure too. But really once you start getting this deep, unless you really know what you're doing, it's probably best to just buy a new after market board.
