The centre post (The one I have an issue with) is reading around 6k resistance whilst the rest read 10k (Correct according to schematic) .. Could this be my issue.. or more of an indicator of an issue

RP3?
These are normally fairly reliable. Unplug the ULA and retest.

Ok so that was a clue.. I found a short but couldnt see where..

I ended up purchasing a microscope, and within 10 minutes of setting it up I saw the issue.

Scraped it with an x-acto knife a tiny bit.. and the whole keyboard works!

Now, it crashes when loading from tape, or saving.. But thats for another day!!

Thanks again everyone for your help!! .. Again..
