Woohoo!
Turned out to be dead simple; yet another blown 2114.
I figured the chip _at_ $0400 (i.e. the start of BASIC) was faulty, seeing as
how the machine wouldn't take a single line of BASIC. So, I swapped the
appropriate bank out to another bank - and presto! BASIC worked again.
Having done this, I then swapped *one* of the two chips (according to the
schematic, there are two chips for each $0400 block of memory - why is
this?) back to its original spot, and presto again - no BASIC. Swapped that
chip for the one remaining spare, and presto^3! BASIC again.
So, now I need more 2114's as an insurance policy...
Meanwhile, I thank the list *again* for their invaluable help (Ethan, Mike
& Pete in particular in this case). What would I do without you (except
preside over a collection of steadily failing machines)?

Cheers, Ade.
