This PCB is a replica. It includes the mistakes that Commodore made.
It is necessary to cut a trace above R37 on the bottom side, and add a 1K resistor from R37 and up to a via. See the images folder to where to cut and add a resistor.
Notice how the main crystal oscillator Y1 body is grounded with a wire.
