English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Any PCBs available to re-house a 68040?

I have a very dead Apollo 1240, the battery severely leaked into 74F74 and when I removed it, pretty much every pad lifted, there is corrosion through the vias, etc, etc. It is certainly beyond saving (unless someone has a schematic?).

I was wondering if there are any PCBs available in which I could transfer the important parts over including the 040 chip in order to build a replacement accellerator? If there's a blank Apollo PCB, that would be even better, but I'm probably expecting too much there.

I just feel it's a waste of a good 040 chip which I would like to see running in my A1200
