Problem is that the 9-volt PS2s boards are near the end of their lives. If it goes, a BCR is expensive way to ornament a shelf.
I am challenging the above comment.
How is it known that the 9-volt PS2 boards are near the end of their lives?
What facts substantiate that statement?

This is a good point, I have several PS2 board from 2000 that still work great today.

All electronics have finite life cycle, and all will some day reach the end of their life. It has been discussed how the 5 volt boards tend to be less reliable and fail more frequently than the 3 volt boards.

This being said, I have had more more 3 volt board failures than 5 volt in my fleet of MTH engines.
