Quoted from ravve:

I need a new Power Driver Board for my T2.
I found a used original one, in working condition according to seller. The price tag is however about the same as a brand new non-original board. Which option is best according to you?
The non-original is this one, I am concerned about ghosting that could appear according to the information:
https://pu-parts.com/wpc-power-driver-board-for-bally-williams-a-12697?fbclid=IwAR2VqQwyYP63BU_1u5PrgkZ3sQwjgS7IUiYOmYggiAEc53GvvjbHCCSWZpw
Leaning towards the original one, which also has the benefits that it should be easier to repair when needed, than the new one that has SMD components. Am I thinking right?

I've bought stuff from pu-parts (a shop in Germany) at least 10 different times over the years and always got good parts. I haven't bought a power driver board from them but a wpc cpu board and it has worked great in my fish tales for at least a year now. So the store is 100% legit.
