That photo really helps - I somehow overlooked
that link - thanks ! I
contacted the web owner there too in case he might have one. So I'm
still on the lookout.
What struck me about the chip at U5 is that it's a DM7490AN, not an
LS90. (or even an S90 or F90). I wonder if this was intentional or
what was simply on hand
I'm not sure yet, but it's not the first time-- I see this in many of
the early stuff that I work on. I always keep a bunch of the 7490 in my
parts bin - just in case- . But what's also strange is that his photo is
missing Q1, Q2 while the resistors are still onboard--because it's
connected to J15, which pins 1,2 are normally connected via a small
trace(difficult to distinguish in the photo) Plus mine has a mod with
another 2 transistors wired into the pads of connector JC from U3 and U4
to connector JB.
So I hope I can decipher this once I find the manual.
