Calling all former touchpad users & repair guys

Does anyone know where I can locate any still functioning new or used 12 selection distribution boards for any brand of touchpads that they do not need anymore. Specialty Equipment Distribution boards are preferred but I see no reason why we can't adapt another brand such as a 12 position GinSan interface or the older 12 postion Magic Wand interface. We would be interested in paying good money for them even beyond shipping costs --- so if they are taking up space or you know of another operator who has some just taking up space ----please PM me or post or email me at info@kingkoin.com.

The function of the boards is so the momentary switches on the pad will latch on to a specific selection --- soap, rinse, tire cleaner or whatever of the 12 coin op selections on a coin box.

If nothing else --- maybe some of you can be on the lookout & let me know at that point.

Thanks.

I've got 8 or 9 Ginsan meter box faceplates with the touchpad selections. They are only 8 postition TC, pre, soap, rinse, wax, FB, spotfree, TF, plus a stop position. The faceplates are setup for gs31 diplays and do not have a validator cut-out. They are for sale.
 
I also have 8 function ginsans Id like to get rid of. I know I have atleast 7 that were functioning when I replaced them. But I also have 20 boards that might have some sort of problem, everythings just sitting on a shelf.
 
Hopefully, there will someone with --- not being used --- interface boards with more than 8 & most likely 12 individual isolated outputs. It just needs to switch the momentary switches within the touchpad or individual momentary push button switches & allow a small amount of current to specific solenoids for 24 relays & tiny valves etc. Ideally, there would also be over eight preferable 12 dc outputs to power commonly obtainable very low cost easily mountable small LEDs.

It seems kind of a shame for us operators ---- even though we have an industrial lab grade grounded workstation soldering setup with reasonable manpower --- & access through Digikey or Mouser for any & all parts ---- if a board loses a function --- there is no guidance to allow us to resolder a component or a section of the very low cost individual components. None of the components show any sign of being fried. It is the type of board that really has no proprietary firmware type of microprocessor that was needed.
