I'm not restoring the daughterboard system, it's too messy and precarious. Too many chances to damage the expensive bits. If I was to build a 'new' daughterboard I'd take a completlely different tack about it.

Micky will be going back in his cabinet, the lamps and switches on there should still work, as they are all driven from the 8154 edge connector. The cassette interface will be reinstalled, then I'll have to find a way to test that. The keyboard and display should work, those are the first things I'll be testing.

It's been a long and arduous journey to get Micky alive again.

I could not, and maybe would not, have done it without the help and support from this forum.

Thanks to you all.
