The boards are rev. 3 and what appears to be rev. 1½ since it has the 6290
ROM but not the 6291 and instead 6392-6395 and the rest. A peculiar thing
though; on the schematics (drawing 005922, sheet 4) the C6,7 decade counter
is connected to what looks like 128V on pin 14 (cpa). Is this actually the
60 hz pulse you are mentioning?
