Help Needed With Sinclair 1000

somebody gave me this computer who built it and the power supply into a
wooden case, complete with a composite tube. this person also hacked a
keyboard on it, complete with some crude circuitry on a tinybreadboard that
was mounted very haphazardly on a piece of plexiglass along with the keyboard!
ah, homebuilt computing at its finest. however, it doesnt work at the moment
so once i find schematics, i'll start isolating the problem.
