Anyway, I've cured the electronic fault (a
defective shift register
chip
in the M register circuit). There are 3 other faults. One is that
an edge
connector has been removed from the I/O backplane (and removed very
well,
I might add, there is no damage at all to the PCB tracks). I can
get one
from Digikey or somewhere.
How odd...Why would someone have removed that connector??
More worrying, but not suprising, is that the
card reader roller and printer platten have turned to goo. And the
card
reader spindle buckled and shattered when I tried to get the roller
off
with a puller. My poor little cat, who often watches me repair classic
computers, was rather scared by this :-( (What is it about cats and
classic computer enthusiasts???).
We have good taste. :)
