You may have noticed the Ebay ads for 10 Alvin G boards either auctioned or Fixed Price from Australia. Normally even with $50 shipping getting 10 boards that have over 40 mosfets on them is a good deal, not including the other IC's. I made one purchase earlier and it was fine, no problems. That purchase was in order to write a CPU repair guide for that system. Once into the original set I found problems with the boards and needed donor parts so I figured since the auctions were still going on I would grab a second set.
I made another purchase. What I got was not what was pictured or what I received in the original previous auction. This is just a heads up in case you are considering buying these.
The board stuffed completely is the auction picture. The board missing lots of parts is what I got. All 10 are this way.
Just a heads up. Ask for pictures of the boards you are buying from him.
The seller offered a refund but to return these would be not cost effective at all. I did ask that he replace the picture in the ad.
