I fully agree, and well said. Will be in touch
and let you know how things turn out.

WELL DONE.
i am tempted to say 'send it to me for repair',
there are not enough of these games to be replacing boards instead of fixing
them.
infact, as a collector there is nothing that pisses me off more than people
who gather pcb's instead of fixing the ones they have.
if you do buy a new pcb, SELL THE OLD ONE TO SOMEBODY WHO CAN FIX IT!
I just got a SW boardset on e-bay a few days ago, one of the other bidders
already owns over 20 sets!!!
I DONT HAVE ANY YET, WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE PEOPLE PLAYING AT?
you only need 1 for a collection.
DAMN I AM ANGRY. - even if i did win.
one day somebody here will badly need a specific pcb, and will remember this
thread!
(when they can no-longer find any pcb's for sale)
L8r.
