Hello all,
I recently acquired a commodore pet 8096 upgraded from a 8032, 8050 duel disk drive and a 8023P printer.
None of any of the above components work, they all have problems and I was wondering if any of you could help me.
Firstly the PET, it chirps on startup but the monitor doesn't switch on and as a consequence nothing is displayed. From time to time I get a green light on the screen but this then drifts off the screen after 5 mins. The disk drive switches on and the lights come on but they don't change colour to green. Also, drive 1's green light flickers sometimes and I have only got the centre LED to go to green two times. This tells me it is probably a fault with the processor at UN1. The centre LED also went to orange once or twice?
The printer does absolutely nothing. I checked inside the printer and one red wire was cut so I fixed that and the transformer 'crackled' on startup, so not sure how to fix that.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
