Hi All, I've recently taken on a restoration project for a very poorly neglected Nexstar 6SE outfit.
I'm on the lookout for the following electronic parts:
1 x AUX _ AG Connector Board for NexStar 6_8 SE Telescopes NEX6-F00-5

1 x Motor Board for NexStar 6_8 SE Telescopes NXW437

I have tried to reach out with some of the Australian suppliers via google search and have only received back a single quote for about $300 for the parts that may arrive at the end of August. That's a lot of money for me.
There seems to be plenty supplies in the US, the current US/AUD exchange rate + shipping doesn't make that too favourable.
I also have the issue that I have no way of testing my old boards individually (hand controller has been tested to be ok) so I'd be taking a gamble by purchasing new boards (my old boards have severe corrosion issues etc, which I have tried to clean up. This has provoked me to replacing them).
I'm posting this on the remote chance that someone has convenient access to some cheaper parts.
Thanks for looking.
