From looking at other posts, I am guessing there is no work around for the blinking LED signs in the MTH building(s)?

What exactly does workaround mean?
Is there a way to by pass the mini circuit board for the blinking light sign, can you wire it directly to 10/14v, so t is just on all the time? thanks
What building? Could we be more vague in this discussion? MTH made lots of buildings, and different signs and control systems. If this is an EL (Electro Luminescent) style sign- you have to provide that high voltage using an inverter so no- you replace the board.
If you mean a different set of lights- well again we need what building to give you correct technical info.
Help us........... help you!!

It is the MTH Lost Sock building, and is the EL sign, so, like you said - need the board, and from other posts - can't buy the board new and the building is not worth fixing that EL sign - I'll just use as is. thanks for your help!

What do you mean you cannot buy the board? I linked MTH parts and sales and said the keyword search blinking gives a list and each item has a picture.

Further, the manual linked for that buildng shows the edge of the circuit board and the switch (straight edge board vs the "L" shaped style.

However the manual does not show the entire board or connection and wiring to the sign.
Is it a 2 wire (to the EL sign) or 3 wires socket?
3 pin/wires
VS 2 wire
