I just replace a board if it is going to be cheaper. It doesn't bother me if a machine I am looking at has new boards that aren't original, but it does bother some collectors.

Buy a new board, and use the old one to learn how to do board repair.

Quoted from DrAzzy:

Wrong order.

Use old board to learn board repair, order a new one if you screw up. Machine isn't working anyway, so it's not like you're risking breaking your machine without a part to replace it with.

I own pins to play, not to sit broken while I try an learn new skills. If $80 on new parts is a major investment, you should be looking at another hobby.
