Roland CM24 or PNC 960 parts?

[rrolin]

Hi, I know these are relics but I really like them and I think the main boards are toast.
If anyone knows about boneyards for old Rolands, I'd love to hear about them If not, Maybe someone could use some of the parts off of my machines. Thanks!

what are they not doing? may be something simple.....

PNC upon start up will find home, then immediately return the head to the center and stop while the power and pen mode light blink simultaneously.
The CM24 upon start up will make noise like the stepper motor is working but the head will not move unless I give it a push. Even then, the motor doesn't know where to stop. Sometimes the control panel will blink with the same message as the pnc and sometimes it does nothing. I'm still guessing main boards on both. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Sooooo, I suppose since there are probably no replacement parts available, does anyone need any spare parts for their pnc960 or cm24?
