8bitbot Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Hi forum, I am planning to use one or more 8580 sid's for my first MB project. Several are offered on *bay at around 30-40 euros either as single chips or (presumably functional) inside a late version c64. Are there any alternative source you guy's would share - one with fair price and good track record? Preferably inside Europe. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjonas Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 If you're looking for a seller with a good track record, I can't help you (not that I know of anyone with a bad record either!), but if you're also looking for a better price for 8580s than what you mention, I doubt you will find it.

jaytee Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) damn, so so so glad I got my MB-6582 fully stuffed before these new boards came onto the market; if the SID market wasn't dry a year ago, it will be by next year. my best suggestion is to check commodore and vintage computing forums. The trick is that you gotta actually ask around, just looking for people who are already selling them isn't likely to get you anywhere. 8580s are getting really hard to come by these days though—30€ is a good price.
