Yes, that would be a good action to measure the delay between the 8MHz clock and the C8 input, comparing the working and the broken PET. If that really reveals that delay difference, I fear we have to take the risk and replace the C9. If not, then I'm running out of ideas as well....
Thanks for the reply André.
some questions...
Do I use the 8mhz clock as a 'trigger' for C8?
Do I get the 8mhz clock from E2-5, or possibly E2-6?
Do I measure C8 clock from pin C8-13, C8-12, or possibly C8-2?
But a warning: there are different versions of the '93 IC out there, with different pin assignments. Please make sure that the one you got has the exact pinout as required.
I got myself a SN74LS93N from Texas Instruments. You can see the pin arraignment here:

...as far as I can tell it looks compatible, just I'm not sure about pins 14 and 12 as the PET schematic doesn't say what these pins are.
