I grew up studying electronics and a lot of years study, my son grew up watching me play with junk and with Google at hand, he designs and builds more stuff than I ever bothered doing outside of industry.


As mentioned, if I had a spare board I'd shove it straight in the post.
A suggestion I don't know of whether it would work but Aliexpress have all sorts of electronics boards but you'd have to purchase it were they to have one, no different than getting Tasco to get you one in. Though I was shocked by Tasco when I needed replacement worm gears for my GOTO mount, when David (I think) told me the price for the lot I asked him if he meant each, pleasantly surprised.
Thanks for the kind sentiment

Having a masters degree in electronics won’t solve anything unless you have the original schematic as built electronics and electrical drawings of the whole kit complete with operational notes and procedures…..
Synta being Chinese , good luck with obtaining those !!
