I am new to this forum but already have picked up a number of helpful tips!   I recently purchased a K-Line Starlite Diner K-42404.  Both the smoke unit and sound board do not work.  The smoke unit needs a new motor.  I believe it is an n20 3v (see attached photos – need the screw holes on both sides of the shaft).  Do have these available for sale?  If not, any idea where can I get one of these?

Also, any ideas on how to get the sound board working again?  I have verified there is power to the sound board.  Thanks

The sound board is most likely fried.  Many people accidently put power to the wrong terminals at the bottom and these had no protection so the boards got toasted.  This is typical of used Diners.  K-Line actually put a sticker on later model runs on the terminals to try and prevent people from putting power to the wrong terminals.

You will need to find an after market board and program your own sounds or a junk diner with a good board.  These parts

haven't been available since K-line went out of business.  I tried to find an original board a few years ago for a Diner I bought used that was fried.  I ended up buying a NIB one.

Good Luck!
