Anyway, back to the original subject.
There is no magic bullet to bring these older machines
back to life. Some of the things that can help
are, not in any particular order:
5. Soldering iron w/ solder
11. solder sucker and/or solder wick
To go with these - machined-pin sockets, not cheap sockets. I've had
problems with, specifically, the 40 and 24 pin sockets in PET
motherboards failing. Remove socket, replace with machined-pin,
replace original chip in socket, voila... working PET.
