TIA chip is RIP

I got hold of a non-working 6-switch woodgrain, figured I'd fix it (I couldn't let it stay broken - It's an Atari!)

Anyway, several hours with a multimeter and swapping bits over with my working VCS (just to test), turns out that the TIA chip is shot! Damn, I was hoping it'd just be a bit of soldering

I don't have any spares to replace it, could anyone help me out here? (I'll gladly pay or swap stuff) - its a TIA from a PAL vcs if that makes any difference.

Thanks, but I think they might charge me the earth to post it to UK (US companies often do). Besides, what with it being, amongst other things, the video chip - wouldn't there be a different version in PAL and NTSC 2600s?

I think the chips are the same. The PAL version just has a different clock freqeuncy (hence different colours etc.) I'm not 100% about this though. The $8 version Best have for sale is marked as PAL. Anybody else have any ideas?
