Old Whites GMT

[The68]

I have an old Whites GMT. Board is fried. Bought a replacement from Centreville unfortunately they sent me a seemingly incompatible board at least not without some additional work/parts. I’m wondering if it will still work, it seems as though it’s a much nicer board however as can be seen from the photos I would need to acquire new terminations since the new ones are very different. Old board is 505-0224 (C) new board is 505-0262-A. I don’t even know if Centreville could find the original since it seems to be very old. Hopefully someone who is more familiar with repairs could offer advice. Thanks!

Workmanship and component placement is much nicer on that new board. I'd check with Centreville about the needed connectors. Maybe you can remove the connectors from your old board, and install them onto the new board?

I agree. I think it would be easier to replace the terminal ends on the wiring to match the board though. I sent Centreville an email letting them know what was up, we’ll see what they say. My main concern is the control screen being compatible with the new board. I may have to request the other components and do a full electronics upgrade to whichever components go to this board. I imagine all the pots switches etc. are the same.

I'd be surprised if the control screen didn't work with the new board.
