It is most likely an off brown, marking a 1% and not violet.
Sometimes their paints change with age.

What value resistor?
It's a 5-band red-red-black-black-violet so either 220R or 70k? Based on
what Pete said about the Z80 I'm going for 220R without pulling it out of
circuit.
It is possible that whatever it is driving needs a
swing to +5V,
rather than just
a TTL high level. Adding a pull-up resistor is a way to kludge this.
I thought that but it doesn't appear to go anywhere else. I'll keep looking,
its only a 2 layer board so there's nothing hidden.
The 7490 has 2 sets of reset inputs (4 pins total),
one pair to reset
it to 0, the
other pair to reset it to 9. Since these inputs are active high, they
can't be left
floating, they must be conneccted to something (even if directly to ground).
So
you could see if those pins go anywhwere, if not, then you can eliminate the
7490
One problem I have is that I've already found a few chips with dead outputs
so I've no idea if these will be any different. The pinouts I have match the
LS92 since pins 2/3/4/13 are NC. All testing so far has been done with a DMM
and cheap logic analyser. Since one of the possibly-LS92s is out of circuit
I'll build a little test circuit to see if it does actually count given a
clock source...
Cheers!
