Removed the 6502 socket (U1) and discovered a lot of scratches which might explain why we're not getting the right signals, seems like they have created a short in the board.

I had extensively worked through the other KIM I have (KIM rev D thread which gave me new knowledge to test this one as well.
Most important, I learned one must ground pin K on the application connector even if not applying 12V power. The repairs I made to the socket and other little cleanup I did to bring the KIM-G back to life (don't remember everything) may have helped or may not have been necessary. The machine sprang to life with pin K grounded; the ROMs return the correct values. I need to do more testing, but this is a great step forward. Reply |

Started project to restore a non-functioning Commodore Kim-1 (Rev G). Working with a number of attendees at the Spring MARCH workshop we concluded that the 6502 socket was bad. I also replaced the dual timer chip in U25.
