You reported that pin 26 is low, look at the power on reset circuit.
The Z80 only needs a short low pulse to reset itself.
It must he high for the Z80 to run.

fetch all RAM ics and clean the contacts ... i just had this issue with some dust on the chips. And i had to replace my system EPROM ... a fresh burnt one runs fine.
Have an eye on the tantal caps inside the powers supply and dont forget to check the cap in the power SWITCH ;)
