I need four. I should part out and sell my CEM
chips from the Prophet 10. There is approx 50 chips. That would be ashame. I'd
rather see this thing come to life. Not certain how much I want to risk in
fixing it.

Depends what you mean by "reasonable". They turn up on eBay fairly
regularly - on eBay UK the going rate is about GBP 25-30 (around $50).
I's often cheaper to buy a faulty less-popular synth that uses them.
The Crumar Trilogy is a good source, they have 6 each of 3310, 3320
and 3330 and usually sell for less than the cost of those chips.
Beware though, sometimes synths sold on eBay as "faulty" are faulty
because they've already had the CEM chips removed. Ask for internal
photos if possible.
Cheers
