yeah i think you should contact mcdermd and just pay him $75-100 for a good recapped replacement classic board.

I think its wonderful that you want to fix it… but i just don't see it ever working again… by all means try if you would like.

but i doubt its ever going to work again. just saying.

maybe you could contact scott B as well, he's got a dead classic board might let go for 20 or so bucks + shipping
