You could run a A9L. They made tons more of those than the A3M so it should be easier to find one.

It would probably be more cost effective to try to find an A3M. A9L computers are ridiculously expensive these days unless you can find someone who doesn’t know what they have.

There are a number of places on eBay that offer send and return repair services.

Even A3M computers are pretty expensive second hand these days.

There are a number of repair kits available with new capacitors and such. Might be something to look into.

In general all the ECU's have gone up. A9Ls are the start child it seems but even good Speed Density ECu's are climbing.

Do you just need one or do you have one that is broke? If you have a broke one I say get it fixed.

I can do the repair on computers with blown capacitors or fried ground traces. Local parts stores should have the A9L or A3M in stock or available the next day.

If you are interested in me repairing it, pm me for info.

The DA1 is a speed density computer.
