Tsukasa Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 I need the pinout of the AY-3-8700 chip from GI. I found a few of them NOS for 25 cents a piece and I would like to build somethine similar to the coleco telstar combat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwilkson Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 hey Tsukasa, I don't have the pinout. Sorry. But I'm interested in picking up a couple of the chips for an independent archiving project. Do you have any extra? Or know where I can get them? Feel free to respond here or PM me. -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsukasa Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 Sorry, I only have two, but there are more where I got them. There is a place called Mendelson's Lliquidation Outlet in Cleveland, Ohio that has tons of obsolete and discontinued chips, as well as a large stock of other electrical and mechanical parts and components. It's a real pain in the ass to go there, but it is well worth it. I found a box of old obsolete chips that were a penny a piece and filled a bag with them. I also got 2 square feet of unetched copper-clad board for a buck. This place is heaven for an electronics hobbyist. It'l probably be a while before I go back up there again, I'll have to make sure I bring a freaking shopping list. It's like the Sam's club of electronics, only cheaper and you don't need a membership or anything like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwilkson Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Sigh....I wish there were something like that in ANY of the places that I've lived. Those places used to be everywhere. But then again, Radio Shack used to sell electronic components to hobbyists. -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susuwatari Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Did you try searching for "electronic surplus" in online yellow pages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vb_master Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 does this have PCB making kits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blinky Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Some info about the AY chips at http://www.pong-story.com/gi.htm no schematic or pinout though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
