No, sorry, I'm not familiar with the insides of a BOSS machine. You ought
to be able to find the valves themselves from the air lines, and then follow
the wires to find where they are powered from. Some of these machines used
24 V DC on the solenoid valves, some used 120 AC. If it is the 120 AC,
then one end of the valves will be hooked to an isolation or step-down
transformer somewhere in there.
