That's very interesting; I had a very similar enquiry when I was
selling some Masters on eBay a while ago. I wonder if it was the same
bloke.
I think my suggestion to him was to try and get hold of a keyboard to
get the thing reconfigured, rather than replacing a working
motherboard, by breaking up a perfectly good Master for spares. At
least then, the keyboard could be used again in case of future
problems.
