I need this DX LAYOUT and early v ROMS (basically this link downloaded and emailed if poss to me or is it here on the mecca????? its TOP GEAR and this one seems to be the 3 pound version . i have the real machine but its the 4 pound. i love my machine and wanted to see the differences thanks and regards j sharpe showreels4u@hotmail.com

I have used a resistor before and it worked fine but less volume, if he is getting hiss I guess the speaker coil is fine, maybe ohm check the speaker or put a couple of volts across it

These speakers are practically impossible to find unless you are lucky enough to find a "new old stock " speaker or a second hand one . Bob isn't there a way to create 30ohms on a speaker with less ohms using resistors ?

For the sound it's worth checking that you're seeing the 15v on the collector of T11, if you haven't already. IC3 only delivers the basic sound bleeps, the main sounds come from IC2. Not sure which one supplies the error sounds? For the Hold button it's possibly one of the associated diodes in the switch matrix unless it's affecting other switches you may not have noticed yet. In that case it could be IC22 or one of the caps C24-28 going short. It's quite easy to fault.
