Several of the comrades should be able to fix this board for you, so don't be so quick to give it away. What accelerator is it, BTW?
It is a Total Systems 020/030 accelerator, with an SE PDS connector. It can also be attached to older Macs by using a killy clip (which I don't have). I forget the exact name of this accelerator, but it says PCB #80042 on it. I'll see if I can find the box and manual later (I know I have them somewhere).

The tricky part is going to be finding the replacement socket. It looks like a single, angled, 30 pin SIMM. We've found double, angled. And we've found double straight, which look like they could be cut into singles. But I don't think we've found single angled yet. And is the angle on that one the same as on the SE or Plus? It almost looks like the SIMM is meant to lay parallel to the board.
The angle is 90 degrees, with the RAM parallel to the accelerator board.
