I am need of a PCB and manual. I received one from someone for free (thanks Jay) but it is not working. The board appears to have multiple parts sodered onto it and wire jumpers going from one to another. Looks like the board is no good. I do have power going to everything, the flourescent lights go on and I verified voltages to board. Also I am looking for a lot of 20-30 plush toys to throw in it. This is a xmas present for my son and kinda need ASAP. Thanks as usual guys.

I have a PDF manual for one version (I do not remember which one) of the Big Choice crane. PM me with your email address and I'll send you a copy.

Betson is about the only place still repairing these boards (Although they are returning many as non-repairable). Be prepared for a very long wait time and a pretty hefty bill.
I believe the only Betson repairing these now is the main branch / service center in NJ.

I should also note that the repaired boards from betson will look just like the one you have with more jumper wires soldered than traces.

The other option, although not cheap either is to purchase the universal crane board kit from Two Bit Score. I would check ebay first as I know they sell on there and I think they sell them cheaper on ebay than their own website.

I have installed the Two Bit kits for a couple of operators in a few Big Choice cranes and they work well. It takes a couple of hours to install but it does work.
 
More help.

Thanks guys, appreciate the info. Can anyone tell me if this picture is even a pcb that would work in a big choice machine. It does not look like the couple I have seen on ebay.
