RE: [crumar] Re: New Owner of an OTR/Orchestrator

Sorry, no idea. Maybe you can find a substitute, a counter should be quite a trivial thing. For example, ARP Omni uses 4520 (which is also CMOS), they should be readily available. As to why there's only ten of them, I have no clue. Check again, you should have two more ;:)

you are exactly right, margus! In my Orchestrator the chip is a 4727,
which i think is a cmos counter. Any idea where I can buy one? I have
struck out so far.

funny thing is I only see 10 of those chips- seems like there should
be 12.

Thanks for your help!
