This is getting me down!!!

I will try to explain this as easy as possible.....
I have a classic KISS, #52 with 2nd generation displays.
I also have a homebuild using the same displays, so 6 in total.
I have been having problems with the calibration of the displays since i did my mod 1. Any of the three readings started to 'float', one sec they seem to read correctly, then the next one might start to climb or fall. i can calibrate them in the evening in 100%, check in air then next morning i could have readings ITRO 0.170......0.490......0.330 in air!!!!
i have now replaced all six wires as they did have some blackening of the cores and thought this may solve it. Oh no, I have just spent 6 hours swapping LCD displays with the boards and cell and batteries and still get similar results. Now bare in mind i have 6 sets of these to play with, the odds that ALL of them are f@#ked is on the high side. The cells are 3 months old and have even tried them with a cell thats more than 12 months old and get the same.
I have also touched the soldering iron on the joints incase it was down to dry joints but still no satifactory result.
Now i have planned to go to Scapa next friday and really need to get this sorted so please, if you have any ideas then let me know.

To see a display that I just calibrated in o2 and air then watch it go from 0.210 up to 0.850, still in air is really pissing me off
