    Missing a PC Board on Interact. Can you help identify?

    We just got a mid 80's Interact with Heidenhain 145 controls. While trying to get it running we found that a PC board (maybe Spindle Drive?) is missing. It is the first thing you see when you open the rear panel of the control box on the pendant arm. There are a bunch of blue and other colored wires that have been cut off of whatever was there. Can you help me identify what part(s) is missing? Then, maybe we can find a replacement (including going back to the dealer who sold it to us!)
    Thank you all for you help. The only documentation we have is an Installation & Maintenance manual for Interact 1 MK 2 that we bought on EBAY. We also downloaded the programming manual from the Heidenhain site (thank you forum members for pointing me there.)
    I have a photo of the area where the board is missing. Just not sure how to post it here.

    A pic would be helpful

    if it is the card actually in the back of the control that is a ton of blue wires that need to be put back, and someone seriously hosed you.

    I should have some of those cards in my pile

    If it isn't then I don't know what card it is

    Thank you, Gus. Yes, it is the most rear board, with many many blue wires that have been cut.

    It would be fantastic if you have one of these. Is it just one board only, or are there transformers, etc. back there?

    I can look from the rear and see a PC board with white plastic holding clips at the top edges. There are 4 tapped holes on the rear corners of the metal frame that holds the existing PC board.

    Here is a picture from the rear of the top control housing:

    Gus,
    Is that power supply and/or connection board available anywhere? Thank you.
