Intermittent missing sprites sounds like a problem with the graphics ROMs -- labeled gfx1 and gfx2 in the MAME XML entry.

Sometimes there is corrosion between the legs of the ROM chips and the IC socket.

Try very carefully removing the ROM chips, cleaning the legs, and reseating them.

They are located at at 3F, 3J, 7M, 7N, 7P, 7S, 7T, and 7U on the TMA1-VIDEO PCB.
- See pages 22, 23, 28, 39, and 40 of the manual here.
