    Hello all.
    Well I just broke a piece of the original circuit board so now I am looking for a Life Like GP20 Circuit Board for the 1998 stamped chassis (DC) with the number 193-020 with the LED light attached. If anyone has one they wish to sell or know where I can get one please do let me know.
    Thanks very much.

    Is that the same small circuit board as in the SW-9 that slips into frame notches on the split frame?

    Is this the frame with the 2 small circuit boards at each end, or the single one that spans the length of the loco?

    If its the 2 piece one, you do not need it to operate the loco.

    But if you are dead set on getting one, I have a few.

    Hi.
    I think I replied on the N scale forum to you.
    Was that you?
    Thanks

    Hi there John.
    Thanks for replying so quickly. I'm not sure if it is the same but probably is commonly used. It does slide into the notches at the front and rear of the loco. It has the number 193-020 printed on it. It is kind of 'U' shaped with the yellow LED bulb in the middle. I snapped one of the sides while trying to straighten it out in the notch. Then I noticed the bulb was a bit loose on the other end so I went to adjust it and it fell out, so now I need two but will accept whatever you may have. I can pay shipping and cost if you have replacements.
    Thanks

    I have two that came out of LL SW-9s, used as mechanisms for a project, that I just dug out of my electrical gadget box. They have the numbers 193-X019 on them and are a clear yellow LED. If you have an N scale rule handy measure the dimensions of yours. Mine measure out at 7 n scale feet long by 5.5 n scale feet wide. Or just measure the width between the split frame notches to see if these will fit. I tested both with a 9 volt battery and both work. If they will work for you send your mailing address in a private message and I'll ship them off to you. Looking at Spookshows site they appear to be the same but the length could be a factor.

    Hi John.
    Not sure if you can send private messages on this site but was just wondering if I can buy these from you. I will send you my address and pay via Paypal or whatever.
    Thanks again for your help. Cam

    Hello John. I'm afraid your suspicions were correct. The length is OK but they are too wide. In the meantime I have purchased a couple of boards from another member. Hopefully they will work.
