I've never heard of this being an option.  in fact, i've heard quite  
the opposite.
I believe that Elektron has a FAQ on their Sidstation site (or  
perhaps its under
the info section) where they specifically state that they know you  
can get a
Sid chip used, but they didn't want to go that route and will only  
use new
Sid chips (thus the reason for selling 100 more Sidstations once they  
came
across 100 more new chips).

you can go to ucapps.de and look at the Sid synth there though.  it's  
a DIY
option to build your own Sid synth.  not exactly a Sidstation, but at  
least you're
using a Sid chip!  :-)
