I've always assumed the fault was a bad solder joint. But, no: reseating the shifter chip has fixed it.

 

I'm ridiculously happy that this old machine is now working better than it ever has.

A piece of old computer junk I'm working on. I'll either repair it or gut it to pieces to use for the one I'm designing.
