Yes, I was just going to check that. I've noticed the jumpers don't
match my 3032 (with older basic). The owner of this PET said it used
to work though, so I was assuming that the jumper were correct.
I will also change the timing resistor and tantalum capacitor on the
555 reset circuit, I've noticed the reset signal isn't very well
behaved (it resets randomly and sometimes doesn't release the reset
line). I think the tantalum capacitor is shorting randomly to ground
or the 1M resistor is intermittent.
Old hardware sometimes has lots of faults.
