So far, I've found 5 chips with pins broken down
inside the sockets.
Fortunately, I was able to remove the pins from the sockets.
Now I just need to pick-up some replacement 8T26 bus driver/receivers
and then check all of those 2114s on the two 527 Ram boards and I'll
be ready to fire this thing up. :)
Doug, I hope you don't mean you need to replace the chips with broken pins.
This happened to a ROM in my oldest PET when I was trying to reseat it (poor
contacts in sockets - I eventually replaced them with decent sockets). I stuck
a thin piece of metal - a staple, as I recall - into the socket where the pin
was supposed to go, and soldered it to the stub of the pin. Worked a treat!
Philip.
