I imagine the method of A-D conversion is the same as it was on the 64, charge an external cap, and count the time from vertical retrace. When the charge on the cap reaches a value determined by an internal comparator, stop the count. Though it isn't pleasant when a VLSI chip goes, it should be remembered that these chips are part of the reason we have such an advanced machine.
