Wilba Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 - Do not ask for a specific chip from the picture above- each was tested and sounds identical- you will receive whichever one is next in lineIf I wanted to play lucky dip, I'd just buy a used C64.If I'm paying US$40 for a SID, I would demand to have a choice of which revision/datecode I got, because the filters are not identical. You could end up with an R4AR and be happy, or some R1 with a pissweak filter. In addition, US$83.66 for postage to Australia! WTF?<free publicity>WILBA'S 6582A SID MEGA SALE #9 STARTING SOON ~US$20 per SID, new unused SIDs, fully tested, each was tested and sounds identical because they're not noisy, unpredictable 6581 SIDs...</free publicity> Quote

Futureman Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 Ouch! Pricey postage... must that real expensive postage i've heard of where your package is personally delivered by all the band members of REO speedwagon... or was it Boston... I never could remember exactly.RegardsMike Quote
toneburst Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 P&P does seem a little excessive, especially given how small and light the items are...a|x Quote
