I'm sorry, another old electronics question.

The Autohelm ST7000 control head I have has suffered from condensation and is no more. I can't find one anywhere, could anyone please tell me what the next generation on from that would be and would it be possible to just swop like for like?

Thanks, James

Take a look on eBay , ST stuff offer come up for sale . I managed to get a course computer last year .
 
Strip it, remove any batteries and then soak / wash in isopropyl alcohol and scrub the pcbs gently with an old toothbrush.

Leave it somewhere warm to dry put back any batteries, re-assemble and see if it works.

What harm can this process do - it can't become more broken ?
