AIM-65 Questions

Hello all,

I recently completed a trade for an AIM-65 that is about 80-90% working, but
needs a little TLC. Hopefully someone here can help....

It appears to have the BASIC ROMs installed, and in the right sockets, but
pressing "5" on the keyboard only results in the "<5>" display, and then the
AIM hangs up. Only a press of the Reset button will free it up. I suspect
the ROMs may be flaky, since one had quite a bit of (for lack of a better
word) gunk on the tops of the pins. I cleanied it all off, but there may be
some internal damage. These ROMs are part number 2332. I suspect these are
2732-compatible, at least in read mode, and not program mode... Does anyone
have a ROM dump in Hex format? If so, could you email it to me so I can
burn new ones?

Actually, while I'm at it, if anyone has ANY of the AIM-65 ROMs dumped in
Hex format, I'd appreciate copies. Then I could burn a whole new set...

Also, the keyboard needs cleaning pretty badly. Unfortunately, I do not
remember the manufacturer name or model #, but it is the standard AIM-65
keyboard. Has anyone ever fully taken one apart to clean it? If so, any
gotchas?

Thanks!

Rich B.
