@rubber_jonnie , I so enjoy reading about your exploits. You never know what will befall you in your efforts to give these old computers a forever home. From soldering Iron attacks to successful board builds, you just can't make this stuff up. You should rename your running forum to "The Adventures of Rubber Jonnie.".

You know what, I may just do that. Glad to hear you enjoy my adventures
Just you wait, I have a Sinclair Spectrum up next as well as the Mac
Collector of many retro things!
800XL and 65XE both with Ultimate1MB,VBXL/XE & PokeyMax, SIDE3, SDrive Max, 2x 1010 cassette, 2x 1050 one with Happy mod, 3x 2600 Jr, 7800 and Lynx II
Approx 20 STs, including a 520 STM, 520 STFMs, 3x Mega ST, MSTE & 2x 32 Mhz boosted STEs
Plus the rest, totalling around 50 machines including a QL, 3x BBC Model B, Electron, Spectrums, ZX81 etc...
I've never worked on the international boards but there are some odd transistors in the tube power side if I remember also the yoke connector are bad for cracks from one end to the other

@rubber_jonnie Spectrums are easy to fix. Do the composite mod first and then off you go.
Aye, that's what I'm talking about

I presume you have a copy of the BOMARC Services schematics for the Classic?
You presume correctly sir

Very cool, what sort of cost are you looking for a board?
I do currently have a replacement from @Tomswork BTW, but haven't been able to follow up on account of the house situation, but it's going to be one of my first projects once we get moved in.
I'm slightly worried that the analog board is dead too, but we'll see. It will live again!
