Yes, that's was the solution. After I have removed the fixture from the old
sockets I saw the dilemma. Some of the springes was broken.
By the way. A good way to remove the old sockets is to cut up the fixture by
using a small drill tool with a cutter wheel on it. Then you can remove each
pin with a soldering iron and a pliers.
But one of the 6540 may be really damage. But what's the cause, why your
adaptor doesn't work on the systems ROM but on the character generator?
When I look on the circuit diagram diagram I can see 2316B instead of 6540A.
Maybe I have a wrong plan.

Do you have a prefabricated constructed one for me ?
