looking for a part for a Tivo series 2, coming up empty. Next steps?

yeah, I may go the ebay route. We have thrift stores here, but don't too often get the "nice" stuff that I'd actually want, so I don't think there's much chance of finding one locally. If I can't source the part from somewhere, I'll probably just roll the dice and go with an ebay unit, hoping that the coax board is still good. This unit still has lifetime service, so it's worth a little money/time to get it working again.
