Hi everybody, I read this forum quite often, mostly looking for repair tips, but also enjoying the discussions around other, less technical themes. I am the sad owner of a dead 67 still waiting to be re-animated, and until recently figured the unit must have been operated by a previous owner without a battery pack inserted. The other day I read (from Victor if I recall correctly) that the 67 is safe to be operated without a battery. I also concluded that the most likely source for the failure is the quite sensitive ACT chip, which if replaced would bring my 67 back to life. Checking the clock with a scope should be conclusive. I would appreciate comments on both issues.
