I recently had my MTH 20-2595-1 Harley Davidson SD60 with the 5 volt board die. I just took it over to one of the only places in SoCal that does MTH work at all. I could likely do it but I was not willing to risk ordering a board set with no warranty since I am not a certified MTH tech. I can work on Lionel and TMCC ERR stuff so oh well. It is worth it to be since I did some horse trading for the engine. Now back to working on my old tech Dorfan.......

Just curious, in some case would it be cheaper to buy a new Premier SD60 and swap the shell? I've done this a couple of times on the Railking line but not sure how well it would work on the Premier end.
