Looking for a 128/512K mac analog board and yoke (!)

Subject says it all :) As you may know, mac 128s are hard to spot and expensive in Brazil. I lost my analog board (lending to a friend) and the tube yoke (!!!). I'd like to build my 128 again. So, if someone is willing to part with an analog board and yoke... :) Thanks a lot!
