If the "warble" is similar to the one you get from the VICE PET emulator, than the CPU, RAM and ROM circuitry seem to be ok, so it probably really is the video circuitry. If you can connect the disk drives to the PET and blindly enter 'LOAD"$",8' and the disk drive starts spinning, that is a good indicator that only the video is broken. Anyway, you can get some PET info, including links to schematics on http://www.funet.fi/pub/cbm and http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~fachat/8bit/petindex/petindex.html > Oh yeah, curious enough, it doesn't appear to have a standard set of > ROM's in it.

Those ROMs were sometimes used as a programm extension and even a kind of dongle - means you have to have the ROM installed to make the program run. It would be nice if you could dump those ROMs and upload it to funet (well, if you like) Probably someone has the disks to share with you to make those programs work again.
