I bought the last one, couldn't justify 2 at that price. I probably have most of the parts on hand, so look forward to building one up. Most of my Bally projects had totally rotten looking MPUs in them.
IDK, double-sided PCB of that size, that price isn't too bad. You could built one up for probably less than $100 total in parts.
I'd bought a couple of the MPU repair kits and I've been doing the vid thing since late 90s, so have too many parts in my bins. Should be fun. If someone or they have more for sale, I'd probably be interested in a couple more!
If the bare board was $25-$30, I would probably jump at it.
But I imagine that printing a PCB of that size isn't cheap.
Those boards are great, but used to be cheaper. I bought some years ago, more like the price range listed above ^^^^^. They're great boards, and you can make brand new -35's with them. Its a really fun weekend project putting them together.

Yeah, a quantity of 100 would probably work out to like $25 a piece for 2-sided at a decent thickness. There aren't a ton of options for short-run PCBs at high quality + silk screening that aren't fairly expensive. When I've had boards made, even little 4 x 4" guitar FX PCBs were like $6+ a pop at 100. I forget what it was exactly, it was a while ago, but I still have some of them. Was a custom quasi-VCF with LFO controlling the VC input if anyone is into guitar FXs and wants one.
