I think this narrows down the problem to the power supply,  CPU, ROM
or VIA. Well, not too narrow...

And I think you're right. If you look at the schematics on funet,

  http://www.funet.fi/pub/cbm/schematics/computers/pet/univ2/

you'll see that the empty sockets are for ROMs:

  Socket	Function	Type		Address
  UA3		Characters	2316 or 2332	N/A
  UD7		Editor		2316		E000-E7FF
  UD11		Expansion 2	2332		A000-AFFF
  UD12		Expansion 1	2332		9000-9FFF

Funet has the necessary ROM images:

UA3:

UD7:

  http://www.funet.fi/pub/cbm/firmware/computers/pet/edit-4-80-b-50Hz.901474-04.bin
  http://www.funet.fi/pub/cbm/firmware/computers/pet/edit-4-80-b-50Hz.901474-04-3681.bin
  http://www.funet.fi/pub/cbm/firmware/computers/pet/edit-4-80-b-50Hz.901474-04%3f.bin

Nope, don't know which one's the best :) These are all for 50 Hz
machines and you're in the UK aren't you?
