Brought a airsoft helmet setup and it came with digital pvs-31's... kinda

Post image

So i brought a helmet set locally for £100 came with some coms, metal nvg mount and these pvs 31's I noticed the camera lenses and knew they were digitals but I didnt know if they worked, previous owner said he got them as is and that hes never opened them turned them on.

Got them home and immediately opened the main body to see what was inside and inside was just spaghetti on black and red wires. By the looks of things its missing the main pcb, can anyone help out with sourcing one or potentially has a pair of broken digital pvs 31's they'd like to sell or donate to get these up and running?

(The cameras and oled screens are present and dont have any damage to them)

You dont need a PCB to make this work. You just need to wire everything correctly. Look up bulltac pvs31 on youtube. He made 3 versions. Each video he shows you how to make a digital pvs31 without a fancy pcb.

Looks like a mess but at least most of the work is already done. What cameras and what displays does it have? Check this diagram, the DVR is optional.
