Prophet 10

My P10 is wacko. Sometimes I turn it on it lights up and acts like it wants to work but if I cycle the power nothing will light except the tune LED as if it is in tune mode but doesn't time out. If I cycle power something different may happen. I think the PCB3 board has issues would anyone agree? All Power supplies are good with DVM but I see noise ripple on supplies with .2 to .5V that seems high to me. It is not 60 cycle ripple but very random noisy ripple. Not sure of best trouble shooting approach of this board. My P10 shematic is freeby with poor zoom in ability. My P5 is better but refernce designators and power supplies seem different. Anybody got a good service manual or advice?
