Yep, That was my plan. I've never done that kind of thing before,
but I'm ready to try. You're right, the boards don't look very
complicated. How big is the printset that you have?

Subject: Re: VT52s wanted
Does anyone have any dead DEC VT52 terminals they would like to donate to
my
cause? All clues are now pointing to a bad RUT module
on *BOTH* of my
VT52s.
One RUT module causes the CRT to do random things. The other one, which
is
much more well behaved, lets me get the flashing
cursor that I should get,
but no keyboard input is displayed and there are no keyclicks. I suppose
I
could go through the individual components of the RUT
board one by one and
Might I suggest a better aproach would be to stop replacing parts and to
do some troubleshooting. I assume the printset is available (I've never
looked, I have an original on paper). And from what I remmeber it's not
that complicated, virtually all simple TTL chips. So figure out what it's
doing, and why it's doing it.
