Yes, there is an error in the schematics. Pin 5 is +5v, not pin 4. Pin 4
really does go to pin 12 on the 8048. I just checked a clone board and an
old original KLM-367. They are the same.

You must be looking at the board layout drawing.
The schematics are different and have no "layers". They just show how it's
connected without actual physical constraints.

Anyway, I just looked and pins 1,4,10,13,14 of IC31 are tied to +5V :)

By the way,
I assume there's an error in the schematics indicating pin 4 tied to pin12
of the 8048, as it's also tied to +5V.
Either that's pin 5 instead, or vice versa.

IC31 is just a quad AND gate acting as a buffer. Each of the AND gates has
one of its inputs tied to +5V so whatever appeard on the other input will
also appear on the output of that gate.

The traces under IC31 are usually attacked by the battery acid though and it
is good if you do continuity testing around that area.

BR,
Peter

Hi,

Looking at the schematics it's hard to tell - it doesn't seem like there is
one for the underside of the board ...

Regards,

Tony
