Got some leads on both machines and my fingers are crossed for a positive result.

I have found a very nice congo but unfortunately it has no boards at all in the backbox.
Can all of these be readily sourced for replacement and if so what sort of $$ would I be looking at?

I believe you can ;

Then you need the cable set which is easy to track down.

I'd say you would be looking at AUS$800 - $900 landed.

Thanks for the help guys, I have decided not to go down the replacement boards road. It wasn't cost effective with what the seller wanted for the rest of the game.
There was a pretty nice creech here in brissie as well but in the end I jumped on a very nice example of a different title I was chasing today so I can call off the search for these two for awhile.

This will be my fourth whitewater and it is easily one of the nicest original examples I have seen and the best I have owned to date. It's in fantastic condition, can't wait to pick it up next week-end.
