Dennis, First of all, you voltage is dropping a full volt (unless that was a typo), and strange readings like that are usually the result of poor solder connections. Reflow all your solder connections, adding a bit of flux from new solder to wet the joint. You should be doing the reflow with an iron set between 700 and 800 degrees. If you have a goodly blob of solder on the joints already, clean it up with solder wick and add just a touch of new solder - use a solder diameter of .015 if you have it available, but no greater than .02 inches - the larger diameter solder does not allow you to control the amount of solder easily, by the time it melts you already have applied too much.
