I am looking for a working Williams System 11 or 11a CPU board with no acid damage. I would prefer a regular System 11 with the seven segment diagnostic display so it is plug and play with my HS, but I could also make a System 11a work.
Thanks darkfaith!
Unfortunately, the board he had available was a System 11b.
I am still looking for a System 11 (not b or c) if someone has one they would like to sell.
Thanks for the advice. It might be my only option unless one shows up on Ebay.
It is just hard to justify a board that is 1/3 the value of the entire machine.
If only the previous owner would have changed those batteries!
When i bought my High Speed, clearly my board was screwed up, sent it to K's for repair. He let me know it would take a few weeks, so i got impatient and bought an 11a (i think) that was converted to high speed on ebay, payed quite a bit for it ($325), but i'm not the type of guy that can't have something in non working condition, so i was in whatever mode.
I still went through with the repair as for i figured a spare would be helpful since i'm drawn to mostly sys11 games. That was $180.
My advice, watch ebay, and pay what you have to pay. Never hold out for a lower price, demand is high, supply is low. The time to buy it, is when you see it.

This is not mine, but a 30 second search of ebay found it.
My suggestion, bid and forget about a lower price.
If you don't, i'm considering it, lol.
That is Scoomie's (from pinside) board. It sounds like it was pulled from a fully functional Grand Lizard, so I think that is a good deal. Go ahead and buy it if you are looking for one.
Borygard from http://lockwhenlit.com/ sold me one of his, so I am all set!
