Update on the donated Sinclair 1000 that "doesn't work"

I just completed a composite mod, and bingo, it works! I replaced the keyboard, and that’s working, too. Let’s try a little 10PRINT on a machine that can’t do 10PRINT well. The keyword entry thing will take some time to get used to, but I like a challenge. Happy Thursday!

Also, my replacement keyboard is the ZX81/UK keyboard. Rubout means something quite a bit different in the US. It’s kind of a hybrid machine now, and that’s just fine.
