Anyway, thanks for the schematics
Eh, de nada.
I have the board running again. The fix was simple,
the xtal was bad.
You're lucky it was something so simple! (Although we've seen this kind
of thing before - I had that 11/23 with a bad crystal.)
I've got three dead 11/73 boards (from someone else), but none of them are
that easy. Different symptoms on all three, but I suspect the State Sequencer
gate array on all three. On one, at least, the ILOE latch control signal from
that gate array is sitting at 2V (which I seem to recall is characteristic of
a TTL input that's not being driven).
Maybe it's just some corrosion, and re-seating the gate array (if I can work
out how to unseat it - don't have the extraction tool) will fix it.
Otherwise, I'm SOL. At least the J11 there are spares for - that gate array
is surely umobtainium.

I do have an extraction tool, but was unable to extract the chips
out of the sockets w/o braking one socket... ok soldered in a new one
and put the chips back after cleaning the pins with a glass hair brush..
There is a german company that saves chips from old pcb's, If you are sure
that you need a chip, try to search the numbers in ther database:
http://demotronic.de/
I found at least the gate array type..
Search for all numbers, not only the "real" type.
