Hitachi P60X901 Buffer Replacements

[topfli8979]

Picked up a Hitachi 60 plasma, with both upper and lower "SDR" buffer boards having pin holes in the ic's. I cannot find replacments anywhere online, part # nd60200-0049,nd60200-0050. Can anyone else locate them?

The ICs themselves, on the boards, are replaceable.

Yea I realize that, but cannot find them for under $10 dollars a piece. 6 of the 8 ic's on each board are shot. I was hoping to find the whole board cheaper than that.

$10 a piece looks cheap when you look at this price! I think the seller knows how rare they must be.

I saw those, not the ones im looking for. Those are for a 50 inch, this tv has two black connectors on each board.

Holy f#*k, who can charge $480 for two buffers? New TVs don't even cost that much!

Who'd pay that when it will most likely fail again. Seen quite a few of these up for grabs very young all with dead buffers over here.
Two things I do before I decide to grab a dead TV research parts availability and cost, look for common faults.

It sucks when you enjoying fixing them, hard to believe how hard it is to find parts sometimes.

Yea I normally do research the tv's, just got this unit for a really good price.I can find the buffers for the 50 hitachi plasma all day, even on ebay for 40 a piece. No luck on the 60. Either redicoulousy priced like tom66 stated or nonexistent.
