Thanks David. I’m not so fussed on the sound quality, it’s of its time I suppose. I can’t have them loud anyway. The problem in my case was the sound had a white noise in the background. As I typed this thread it could almost have been plausible it was supposed to be that way. 5 minutes later it was almost impossible to hear the actual sounds then it went nuts. Changed the ribbon connector to a new one and it cleared up, however it’s missing the bong on startup (well there’s something there in the mist!) and I’m missing some sounds now.
I’ve removed the main sound/speech rom and cleaned the legs with a fibre glass pen as they were corroded and sprayed some contact cleaner in the socket. Still no dice.
I’ll try the new roms Paul is sending and go from there.
Thanks all
