Anyone have a busted 303? Need switch board

Hello, sorry if this should be in the marketplace but it's an oddball request so I thought it might not fit in there. I bought a 303 recently (knowing it was broken) and the switch board has a big crack down the middle. So, I need a new one. Roland only sells them bundled with the main board for $320 (!!). If you have a spare switch board (unlikely) or a SP-303 that is otherwise broken (IE you plugged the wrong adapter into it or something) please let me know, I will pay you $$!

Wow, roland sells the board for more than the sampler. WTF, they love to rip people off. When you have busted roland gear it's always easier and cheaper to buy a whole new unit. Roland is a headache and a half when it comes to support issues. Good luck

Yeah, unfortunately I think this is typical of tech manufacturers. I think they want to prevent people from building their own and selling them, or something. At any rate, hopefully I can find someone with a broken one which I can swap the boards out on.
