Help! I recently picked up this lovely Powertran PSI Comp 80 but it's missing a whole bunch of chips. Good news, I have the ICs. Bad news, I don't know where they go. Does anybody have a copy of the original docs or have a machine & can take photos?

The PCBs are now available to members in the club shop
