That'll be slightly corroded key switches. Electrolube EML down the key post and exercise the switch will fix that. It's the same as BBC Master keyboards.
Yes, I found that out right after I posted that, altho I've never had the issue on a beeb before.
Just going to finish the test off with a bit of Frogger ala MTX "Toado".
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.
That means you must have time to get the v2 Analog built

Oh that's all up and running great, I just need to post some screen shots now
Nice one, screen shots for sure please
BTW there is new firmware, 20230504, it's really good. Also just released are new utility disks.

@rubber_jonnie cool, I'll have to download them and try it
It is way faster to pickup the display on boot. With the earlier firmware my machine would get to the Apple ][ screen but just show the v2 Analog splash screen over VGA.
With the latest firmware, it shows VGA almost instantaneously so I don't need to boot a disk to activate the v2, I can use VGA right away.

Just for a laugh I tested the old 4116s that I removed from the MTX and 6 out of the 8 tested as faulty on the ram tester.
Now that I've got the MTX up and running I'll be looking to give it a modern upgrade or two.
