Hi- I contacted someone on a PET/CBM Facebook group and went through a few checks. For example, I plugged the tape deck into the PET and pressed play. I then switched it on. What should have happened is that the tape deck should have switched on for about a second and then it should have stopped. It didn’t, it carried on running which means there is a problem on the main board not the monitor apparently.
