Commodore CBM 8096
Vintage Computer
Spares or Repairs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is a vintage Commodore CBM 8096 Computer.

It is essentially an 8032 with a 64k RAM Board added.

Not fully working - for Spares or Repairs - see below.

It has been in storage for a long time and I thought it was about time to see if it still worked. 

There is no power-on chirp and there is nothing on the display.

However, the power supply and regulator circuits are working correctly - see below.

These are the steps I have taken before deciding that I don't have the time to further investigate the issues.
  • When I first switched it on the mains filter blew (see last photo), so I have removed it, bypassing the wiring.
  • It now powers on with the usual clunk, transformer hum and the high pitched whine associated with the CRT. However, there is no power-on chirp and there is nothing on the display. 
  • Having obtained the circuit plans, I tested the transformer outputs and voltage regulator circuit outputs with a multimeter. All are correct.
  • I removed the 64k RAM board, refitting the 6502 onto the main board, however the fault is still the same. I have left it in this state to reduce the chances of damaging the 6502 and to facilitate further fault finding.
Condition notes:
  • The '0' key on the number pad is missing.
  • The case is in generally good condition for the age with some fading and marks.
  • The spot welds holding the lid hinge have failed, so the top has come adrift from the base.
  • There is some rust on the section between the monitor housing and the base (see photo)
  • The bolts to hold the lid to the base are missing.
