Hi Don and Peter,

Your messages have been very helpful consequently I've discovered anomalies elsewhere...

IC26 p5 doesn't connect to IC34 p5 - should I bridge this ?

IC26 to IC32 connections are all fine.

Also I think there's a mistake in the schematics. Rather than IC34 connecting to IC32 it seems to be IC26 p2, 1, 11, 10 that is connected to IC32 p2, 1, 17, 16

Regards,

Tony
