That's not really major surgery, it would be fully reversible and mean 
only one bent pin (13) on the 6569R5 and some open wiring. I have a demo 
that will produce the grey dots reliably.

I can see if I can get around to do some of those. Which signal in 
relation to what interests you most? I don't have a logic analyzer, just 
a digital scope though.

There is a problem with using the term C64C. I own one that says that on 
the bottom, but still contains a 250466 board, that means 65xx-parts and 
82S100 PLA. It's better to use the board part numbers. The board with 
the large PLA is the 250469.
