Looking for D#CM at TE II Mainboard

Okay so I'm trying again, as the Classiccmp software is not letting my
post through with the correct name of the subject computer included in the
post (I've tried thrice).
My D#CM at TE II has begun behaving very strangely.
The computers began to develop keyboard issues a few weeks ago, which
resolved to be some or all of a set of small filtering caps (which on my
board, looked just like picofuses) that sit on the lines for the
keyboard/video port failing. Replaced those with 470pf caps (after I
incorrectly identified and installed picofuses the 1st time), the computer
now recognizes the keyboard, but now fails 9 out of 10 times to go through
a proper boot sequence, generating a randomly garbled version of the test
screen patterns and then sometimes attempting to boot the floppy (but
fails).
Anyway, if anyone has a mainboard left over from a Spare Time Gizmos
project and would like to get sell it, I'd be interested.
Thanks,
Tom
