Sounds like it booted right the first two times
and the extra heat build-up burned off the pins
of the CPU. Then the next boot wasn't utilizing
all the signals. You should be fine once you get
the new (used) chip.  8o)

: Of the three 6502 pins that were bad, two were so corroded
: that they were just not there anymore. It looked like rust.
: The socket looks like it just needs some cleaning.

As per above, just clean the socket the best you can
and wait for the chip. I should get that out in the next
couple days. Monday at the latest. Thanks.
