Hi Echy I've got the tech manual but it really isn't much help .Maybe
it needs a holiday in the sun instead of the gales and rain we get here
in sunny Scotland.I picked up another 7400 at a car boot sale for a
fiver so I think I'll start swapping bits around and see what
happens,thanks for your input and I'll let you know the result
Cheers JIM
