I've been having ignition gremlins for quite some time, so I bit the bullet and sought another ECU.
Second hand units are over priced, especially when the one I was seeking could be up to 38 years old.
I tripped over an advert for a company that produces replacement ECUs for most bikes, so I ordered and received my new ECU.
Every thing works like it's supposed to again!
the company is called 'VECTRIQ' out of Sydney. Take a look at their site.
 
This is the company the poster is mentioning. The post sounds like an ad for the company. Anyway, if you need this part, this is an aftermarket source for a new electronic ignition box.

Check with Sean Morley for the Ignitech unit which I believe he still sells. That may be less $. And, it has a rev limiter, very important to prevent over-revving.

I suppose there may be boxes with different electronics for other markets, perhaps with reduced power requirements. Check your ignition box numbers/OEM part #.
