It's frustrating as PokeyMax is a known quantity to me, but what can you do?
Mark (PokeyMax developer) is just going to release the first batch of PokeyMax's last version. I understand he already ordered the boards from the manufacturer, but he might still have a few unsold ones, if you are interested:

It's got plenty of rusty or missing caps but for what it cost me, it'll make a good spare for my 800 once repaired.
