After almost 2 years I finally got my hands on a replacement board!!! I paid the price too 75$US...
However I hooked it up and it works (video and sound).. None of the controls work yet but I'll get to that soon..

Patience pays. $75 to pay for a complex (video) board is not very much compared to the time that we often spend in hours and parts repairing them !
I used to own a working upright Thunderblade a few years ago. Not a bad game... The deluxe version must be quite fun. Enjoy !

Hey at 75$ that's good. No head ackes your done and it works.
congrats.
Life is like Pinball!! You never know where you will bounce or where your going but sometimes you have that one amazing shot But on the other hand you have those darn gutter ball where you just get frustrated.
Controls work!! The main stick mechanics require a severe overhaul though.. I think the monitor needs a cap kit too as the vertical adjustments aren't as good as they should be..
Started cleaning the cab tonight - I'm tired.. I stopped 'cause I have to take pics.. It's just too damn dirty!! Cig butts, gum wrappers, dead insects, fuzzy brownish crap, etc..

I can tell you that they don't work like the real thing
I may actually switch the controls... Right now (and this is normal for this game), the "collective" acts like the fore-aft cyclic and the cyclic acts like the collective.. Sucks when you know how the real thing works...
BTW the collective on this thing is more of a jet throttle type of control.
