Well, you were on the money Nino .

I eliminated the CPU board by testing all row/column combinations using the jumper wire method .

On closer inspection the common wire on one of the trough switches was hanging by a thread .. fixed that but still have the trough switch fault .
Have found some cold solder joints on the  NC connection on a number of switches on the green/black column which has improved the trough switch issue but not fixed it as yet . Also reflowing the NC connections on all the blue/white row , but need to get to switch 36 (left ramp enter) as yet.

Reflowed the NC connections on switch 51 and that has fixed the switch 51 and 61 errors  #*#

As usual I was over thinking the problem .. seems like its all due to cold solder joints .

What i noticed is when measuring the NC switch connection the resistance was greater than 1 ohm .. around 1.4 - 1.5 which is high enough to be causing problems .

 
I need more room ! and more $$$
