Hello All-
I'm hoping someone out there has a speed board for the GS1200 that I can have/purchase.
I need the one in the photo below:

Thanks!

Check out this (click here )

Scroll down up to about the middle of the page and there it is. Not cheap but at least you can have it...

Looks good! Anyone here locally before I have to order overseas?

Hey Alan,

Are you handy with a soldering iron?

Here's the motor control IC:

BA3601 on E-bay

This is the vast majority of what could be wrong on that board...

I asked a GS specialist and they told me that if the fine speed adjustment works most likely its not the IC but some other component on the board. But...Leon has them brand new sealed so I'm going to buy one and then take this one apart and see if I can fix it. Then I can have a spare!

I'm seeing about 5 transistors on the board too. If it isn't the IC these would be my next guess. After that the electrolytic capacitors.

Resistors and ceramic capacitors?: no!

Of course there's always the classic thing of the soldering needing refreshing.
