who is it on here who has a stock on of old bits and pieces for boilers? John Rumm?
Brother has an old Ravenheat (about 25 yrs old) that has packed in due to the pcb being knackered. He's gone through the tests in the manual and this is the outcome, so I've suggested trying a replacement if there's one available cheaply before replacing the entire boiler
TIA
Phil. Does he need a PCB? Would a new programmable controller work? What does the PCB do?

Dunno about John; but I imagine it's Geoff at

+1, yep he's your man:)...
In the farthest reaches of the attic they have the PCB's for the Noah Mk1 heating system. Of course they can never be reached. You either get killed by the tectonic shift of 30,000 PCB's and "things which will be useful one day" or the alligator gets you.

What. one , that works off mains and switches mains and is approved by Ravenheat which wouldn't invalidate your insurance if things went wrong?
Yeah, John's a big softie ...

Ssh...
That's company secrets, that is
Not me, (unless you want some bits for an Ideal Mexico), Geoff is your man...
A bit too big and soft in some places...
Toooo much info
Surely small and soft is worse than big and soft?
Depends on what you are referring to, with a beer gut, it might be preferrable ;-)
Heh. You sound like me... I gutted my old Vaillant before consigning it to the tip a few months ago, and amidst much scorn from SWMBO put all the 'useful' bits on ebay when they had a 'free listing day', on the off chance that someone with the same boiler developing a fault within the
10-day window of my listing - nothing sold ("what did I tell you?") - each 'free listing' day since I've clicked 'relist'. The other day - RESULT! several bits went, for about 35 GBP :)David
I went a stage further - pulled a Honeywell programmer off the wall, and was about to bin it. Then noticed they are £90 new, so decided it was probably worth the £4 investment to replace its rechargeable battery so that it actually works like it should do! Will have to see if that will sell...
I won't tell you how many timers and programmers I disposed of the year before last
