Sources for SID Chips?

2001-08-09 by Eric Weik

Hi all,

Sorry if this is a bit off topic (feel free to e-mail me off the list), but 
I'm looking for an extra SID chip (preferably a 6581 not an 8580).  It 
isn't for my SIDstation, but rather for my SX-64 (which I use for 
Cybertracker, SAM, and some homebrew projects).   I'm not sure what is 
wrong with the chip that is in it now, but it produces noises that have 
only a faint resemblance to what they should (read as clicks and pops 
instead of tones).

I know that I could pick up a used C64 on Ebay and pop the SID out of it, 
but I'd prefer not to render an otherwise functional C64 silent.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Eric
