The chips where I believe the RESET is oscillating on
pin 23 have been
labelled E151 and E152 ... But I am not really sure if I have
identified them and the pin correctly.
E151 is the main CPU chip:

E152 is the KEF11-A floating point chip, and E150 is the KTF11-A memory
management chip.
Pin 1 of E150 is definitely in the lower left corner (in the photo); there's
an indent on the left-hand side of the chip, for the usual DIP orientation.
I'm pretty sure the other two have the same orientation.

Thanks Noel. According to the printset for the KDF11-A pin 23 is the RESET
signal, which would make it the 3rd pin from the right at the top right of
the CPU. The printset also showed a second chip with its RESET on pin 23 and
I have confirmed that E151 and E152 have pin 23 tied together. So I am
pretty confident that this is indeed the RESET.
I have been tracing the source of the RESET, because as I have said it is
oscillating, and it seems to go through a *lot* of logic, and I haven't
fully traced the source of the oscillation yet.

Have you checked the PSU output? My first guess would be bad caps in the
power supply.

I should have said that I have already checked, the ripple is about 100mv peak to peak,
which I assume is OK. The green DC OK LED is illuminating too, so I think the PSU is
fine.
