Amplifone HV board wanted and/or parts

Archived from groups: rec.games.video.arcade.collecting (More info?)

I'm *this* close to having a working Star Wars, but my HV board is
toast (big surprise). I could order everything to rebuild it, but it's
also burned pretty bad so I'm hoping someone here has either:

1) a spare working or n/w for sale that's a better candidate for
rebuild

-or-

2) a deal on a Wintron or PennTrans HV unit that they're not using

My other option is to design a replacement using a readily available
transformer on my own board, but that might take months and cost
countless lives....

PS- I've got 96 in 1 Multi Pac's for trade too.
