Quoted from TigerLaw:Sterns position to him is that ghostbusters in an “old game” and they do not have replacement boards on hand for it any longer.
"on hand"...
If that means never again that would be an incredible piece of information and terrible news. I'm skeptical.
Possibly they don't have any right now?
Which node board is it? Marco has node 0 (the main board) in stock, not for $500. https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/520-6936-01
I also see the node 1 original has been replaced with a new part number (still out of stock)
