Has anyone seen a Ms. Pac ROM variant that looks exactly like Midway Ms Pac but the sounds are a little off... they have the same music, etc... but it sounds like it's coming through a CASIO KEYBOARD instead of a KORG... very tinny... sort of digital sounding...

That is how a PCB set I have sounds on my known working Pac cab... which sounds dead-on with my PCB set hooked up to it.
 
Can't say that I have. Can you post a video of it? Might be interesting to hear. Speaking of oddball sounding Pac-Man games, I just got a bootleg "Pac-Man on Galaxian hardware" board...now that one sounds weird! :D

Perhaps you have a board with a burnt resistor, cold solder joint or bad cap in the sound circuit? Sounds more plausible than a ROM variant.
