I wish to purchase the original Philips motherboard (not a clone replacement). Any good leads / tips / stores?
Sorry I can't be much help but just wanted to mention Phillips used to have a really good parts service that would share expertise with customers. I don't know what they are like now but I expect if they are in a good mood they could tell you the date the motherboard was produced and which models it was fitted to and any other manufacturers it was supplied to.
Such information would allow you to spread your net somewhat wider.
Perhaps it might be possible to have your original motherboard repaired, something that was fairly routine in the early days of personal computers...

You will need a new case and a new power supply. I would replace the memory as well.
Compaq had a tendency to make cases to only fit their boards back then. Youre better off building a new unit and starting over again.

Go to www.partsdirect.com, this is sears website for parts. You should be able to find the part number for a new blade.
If the blade has bolts and nuts holding the blade together it can be sharpened. If it is riveted together, it can be but it is more work than what it is worth.

Thanks - I emailed Philips a week ago with the part number and a picture and am awaiting an answer; doesn't look good. Surprisingly I found as of yet no such spare motherboard or computer model on ebay… Still looking!
