Yeah. i figured it was a socket of some type ( build lots of pc's so i'm used all the sockets mobo's have.). well.. here's an interesing update. i was pulling the chip away from the board slowly... and as it came away, two of the pins at the end of the chip broke off inside the connector. so, i guess i've got myself a box for my SID anyway. back to ebay. next time, i have the advice. thanks guys.

Is this topic covered anywhere on the board? just got my C64 in the mail. Is functional. Trying to remove MOS 6581 Chip. Any pointers? I noticed it's mounted on above the board on a connector of some type. New to electronics, does this just pull off? thanks.
