Hi Rick
 You might find it difficult to obtain a replacement motherboard. The
only ones still available in any quantity are the A1200. This and the
A4000(T) were the last design produced by Commodore before its demise.
In the intervening time the Amiga has pased through a number of hands
all of whom failed to make anything significant happen. The new owners
are Amiga fans and are making some radical plans.

See

Some American Sites that might be useful for parts
http://www.paxtron.com/

You should consider trying to get the machine you have up and running
as amigas have been known to survive quite a lot of abuse. However one
problem that can be fatal is if the battery leaks and eats its way
though the PCB damaging tracks. If you have any stuff around the
battery then this needs to be cleaned away as quickly as possible.

I hope this has been of some help.
