I am now fairly sure that the issues with my 4060 are due to a bad EPROM image or some other problem with the CPU card. When I start an ALIGN sequence you see the beam current jump up to the same point as when you turn MOD off. From then on, nothing else happens. I would assume that the ALIGN sequence should start scanning the control voltage and looking for the central peak. I also do not get the ALIGN sequence at power on. It appears that the code in the ROM that performs the ALIGN sequence is bad. The rest of the code/cpu seems to be working properly since I can do a manual align and maniupulate all the front panel controls.
My EPROM is marked 05030-001 Rev - My unit is serial number 255. Does anybody have a dump of the 4060 ROM, a copy of the ROM, a spare CPU board, etc? Also can anybody with a 4060 tell me what happens during their ALIGN sequence?

BTW, my EPROM is soldered (!) into a screw machine IC socket. I will have to do some surgery to remove it.
