    looking to have boss 5 boards repaired

    Can Someone tell me where or who I can go to to have some boards repaired for my bridgeport boss 5 machine. I have 2 ESR boards that 1 needs to have the rs-232 installed onto it & the other 1 has something wrong with the rs-232 portion of the board. Any help would be appreciated. I am located in NE pennsylvania.
    Thanks in advance.

    Electrical south repairs boards but it might be cheaper to check EBAY.

    Most BOSS 5 ERS boards had Rs232.

    boss 5 boards

    Thanks George & Steve for your responce.

    George as far as I can tell, the 1 ESR board is a different part#. I was told when I purchesed it that it was for a Boss 4,5 or 6 which means it should have had it, but it clearly dont, in fact there is writing in black marker that it was repaired in 99 and it says "NO RS-232 INSTALLED". and you can clearly see there is stuff missing from the board when you compare it to the others I have. If I give you the part # can you tell me if it can work with my Boss 5 machine if it is installed. Thanks again for your support,it is greatly appreciated.

    I have a board with both the rs232 and 20 milliamp com out. I had a spare board, so I didn't try to repair it. However a service tech with a long memory told me to replace the 1488 and 1489 chips. Mouser Electronics has both chips for about $1 each.
