I was about to crash out and let it wait, after playing around with S33 with no results, I put the game into test mode, and pushed the reset button for every test 6 and onwards to reset the displays to 00.
I can now add credits, the displays are working fine, the knocker is working, I can set high score etc.
So it looks like I've got a fully working Galaxy after 9 months.
I would have never have thought of resetting the memory Nino, I thought the socket was making the displays, button, knocker etc. play up with a new chip in it, pure guesswork in desperation hitting the S33 every test mode after pushing it once did nothing, what a fluke on my part.
I'll put a new 5101 in first (return the other to Seawitch) and see how things go I'll leave the socket for now if all's good. I read on Marvins guide about the chips and sockets but really just thought it was a power problem with pins/connectors, cause the PSB was hacked right up.
Is it possible?? All my machines working at the same time for the first time?? Fingers crossed I'll she how she goes and thanks a heap again Nino, Rod and everyone else who helped.
