Right, battery on my Master replaced (by a 2x2 AA holder with one slot soldered out and heatshrunk and taped to the old plate.
Took me a while to figure out how to do all the CMOS resetting, there's a page at the back of the manual with the defaults; and a more forceful reset. I'd forgotten about the ability to 'unplug' ROMs and it took me a while to figure out that's where BASIC had gone.
So in Beeb mode it looks happy (other than the X and 6 keys that are a bit touchy).
