Guest LiqMat Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) Anyone have a spare or know where some might be? Checked Ebay. Dry. My second VIC has a blown 6560. Thanks. Edited December 26, 2015 by LiqMat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LiqMat Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) That will not help me as I am looking for a 6560 video chip in a VIC-20 and not a PET. Thanks though. Edited December 26, 2015 by LiqMat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 This guy has advertised for a while about 6560 chips, asking $16 + shipping: http://www.lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=53490 Channelmaniac lists them at $8, but he is out of stock: http://www.arcadecomponents.com/catalog/item/2243545/2672570.htm There is a seller "achai4" on eBay who has big lists of Commodore chips, but he is also out of the 6560 so apparently it is going like hot cakes. In any case, that seller used to ask $25 per chip, so the above $16 perhaps isn't that bad, assuming he still has them for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, that seller used to ask $25 per chip, so the above $16 perhaps isn't that bad, assuming he still has them for sale. Thanks for the info. Yes, I saw achai4 on Ebay. He has informed me he will check the dark corners for one on Monday, but no promises. I also might land another VIC-20 here shortly and just do a pull. It looks like typical heat got to the 6560 and I have noticed some people have mixed results with a heatsink on that IC so I may look into the heatsink and fan mod for the VIC. From what I have been reading in these forums and elsewhere the 6560 is a sensitive child. My working VIC is the older two prong power model with two video pots and the large black heatsinks. During cleaning I replaced the dried up thermal compound with IC Diamond that I had sitting around, but man, I did not realize how hot the older models got around the voltage regulator.

Guest LiqMat Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 dean7878 over at that lemon64 link just sold me one. Thanks for the lead! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 For $DEITY's sake, the 6550 and 6560 are two completely different chips! Only Chinese counterfeit chip resellers would lump them together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hofster Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I would consider that post from Mo as spam. Mo created an account on the forum just to reply to a nine year old post. They must have a lot of MPS6550's that they need to get rid of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
