Well, in the multiple on/off cycles that went with fixing the monitor (completed successfully), seems the game's boardsets have developed an issue.
The sounds were always a bit wonky but I figured I'd get to that once the monitor was fixed.
The monitor is now fixed but the attached pic is happening now, along with no sound and the dreaded all 4 LED staying on solid error. The reset switch on the board does nothing as well.
After some time, I came upon this:

Reflowed the socket, cleaned the legs of #3 to no change.
Voltages test fine except for the 12 which gives about 10.5 but I was thinking that was what was messing the sounds up.
So. . .
1. Further suggestions?
2. Anyone local to DFW have a known working ROM board for testing? Hoping this is a ROM 3 issue and not something more in depth like a watchdog problem or whatnot.
3. Anyone want a project Defender with two working chassis?
EDIT: Oh, also reflowed ribbon cable pins on both ends.
