Quoted from Jenk540i:Actually had a new aftermarket board and it worked (not Ingo's board though)
End of day follow up:
My friend just texted me that with the info everybody gave he worked out a very satisfactory sell (for him and his prospective buyer) so all is well.
I did not ask the selling price. Thanks again to all who weighed in.
Would be a great ending to this thread to find the price paid for the condition the TZ was in.
