If U1 pin 11 is near 0V and pin 19 of the KB Controller IC is not, then,
there is either a break in the line connecting the pins or one or both IC's are
making poor socket contact.
If pin 19 of the KB Controller IC is near 0V when the CTRL key is not
pressed and near 4-5V when the CTRL key is pressed, then, if you still have
'stuck CTRL key' symptoms, there is a good chance that the KB Controller IC is
messed up.
Note: all of this assumes that your KB is like the one diagrammed in the Apple
][ Reference Manual on page 101.
The keyboard is known to be a weak point in ][+ design. Probably, Apple
did not expect the machines to be in service at the turn of the century!
After a plague of KB problems, we ended up yanking the entire thing,
enlarging the KB opening, and installing a home-brew KB. It uses the key matrix
from a surplus reed-switch KB and a decoder circuit designed around the SMC
KR2376-ST KB Controller IC.
