I am currently restoring a CBM 4032 that I bought as a faulty unit. It had some sticky keys which I have sorted by cleaning the keyboard. It had the common bad Character ROM chip which I have now replaced with a 2532 eprom. The final two problems I am still working on.
First an odd one? All text lines start at column 40, and then carry on from column 1 on the next line below. The cursor is two character spaces ahead of any typed text, meaning there is always a space between the typed text and the cursor. Anyone have any thoughts on what would cause this?
Secondly some of the charcters sparkle, in other words some of the screen bits flash on and off.
Otherwise the computer is working and will run programs.
