Hurray! I repaired my Macintosh 128k!
This one was suffering from vertical collapse - basically just showing a single white line on the CRT.
After replacing a fair few components I finally found the culprit - the LM324N had died!
I'm not sure how a single output could fail (the LM324N is a quad op amp, and the other op amps seemed to be working fine!) bit regardless, I'm happy it's back in working order!
