They weren't given any options for any price from what I understand. I
didn't find anyone selling the board nor any place offering to repair
it (neither did he). The main circuit board is still available for ~$510
and I found at least four places with offers to repair that board. It
seems the main board is also used in the Syncrowave. Probably why it is
still available...

Kind of sad, the machine is circa 1996.

So true. I try not to buy anything that contains consumer
electronics. We were looking at stoves at Lowe's a couple of days
ago. I told my wife just to pass on by any stove that didn't have
analog control knobs. The burners are easy but it's hard to find an
analog oven controller.

Anyway, I used to moonlight for a very good friend of mine, Jerry
Brown of Jerry's Electric Motor Service, 423 472-5959. I used to do
some board level repair for him but as stuff gained more big chip
blobs with no documentation, I had to back off.

He found a company that can repair literally any board, be it a
control board from a heat pump with BLDC motors to PLC boards. Quite
inexpensive too. You might give Jerry a call and tell him I (John
DeArmond) told you to call. He might take the board for repair or he
might just put you in touch with the company he uses.
