Should Stern still bother producing these country specific machines or do you think they will try to come up with some other way of trying to stop machines being bought and sold internationally?

With the Aussie dollar still very strong, boards like the one Greg is selling is going to open up new options for us to source late model Sterns.  Good stuff.

Pete you always have the option of buying AU delivered machines  and then this board is not needed

these only come into play for the guys buying (US delivered machines) direct out of the US and importing them

I think your the only one that noticed that these new boards lowered the price  by well over $100
compared to others selling the older style conversion boards.

The board appears to be an oscillator, injecting a 60Hz signal into the frequency detection cct.
It's a peripheral cct. meaning that as long as the software recieves a signal from the cct, it's happy.
It will be interesting to see how Stern is going to get around this, as any detection cct. can be circumnavigated eventually, even to the point of locating the signal on the MPU board.
EM score motors wanted- nonworking, broken, burnt, etc..
