Someone here has an old 512K Macintosh whose power board has
just gone out (according to the local dealer who will
charge $200 to fix it).

My question is, is it worth it to have the dealer do it, or
can power boards be bought and simply replaced by a Mac user?
Who sells them?  Do they also come with new motherboards
carrying the new (128) ROM?  Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance for any help.
