Out of 4 outputs 2 are fed back into itself as inputs, one goes off to RESET
via a 74LS04N and the 4th disappears into the phone side of things possibly
to an Intel D8741A as well as seemingly being used as a base driver for a
BC548 transistor. Inputs are from a 5V-fed resistor network and Vcc for all
3 CMOS chips comes from a 12V line via a 1kohm resistor.

Tonight I'll make sure all the verdegris'd resistors and caps are ok.
 
The 8085's arrived yesterday too, thanks!
