Closed SID 6581R3, 6581CBM and 8580R5

[Elerion]

Hi

I have a few nice SID chips for sale.

MOS 6581 CBM (1985)
MOS 6581 R3 (1985) Sold to njspencer79
MOS 8580 R5 (1988) Sold to globaltrasher

All chips were pulled out of working computers: C128, C64 and C64C respectively, fully tested and working.
35€ each + postage (7€ for most of the EU).

There were quite a few sources of SID chips from China and other places that had various issues: unbalanced channels, non working filters or they just sounded weird. This is not the case with these ones.

Few notes (That I'm sure you already know.):
6581R3 and 6581CBM use the same R3 mask and sound the same. They can be used together in stereo setups.
8580's and 6581's are not mutually interchangeable, as they use different voltages and filter circuit. Interchanging them without the proper adapter will likely damage or destroy these chips.

BR,
E.

I haven't heard since Aug 19th. I have sent 3 PMs inquiring about tracking and shipping status. Anyone else hear anything or have thoughts?

@Elerion update required regarding shipping/tracking.

 

[invaderkewl]

I have to assume it is back from vacation time in Europe. I too await a tracking for my purchase of the 6581 CBM chip from @Elerion. I am in no rush but an update would be helpful. Best regards

 

[globaltrasher]

Well for what it's worth, I received my 8580R5 SID on Aug 21 just fine - paid on July 30, tracking on Aug 7, I think shipped out on Aug 11. I haven't tested it yet (working on assembling the adapter for my breadbin) but I assume the chip is fine...
I can only hope he'll update both of you soon on the status of your purchases.

 

[njspencer79]

Still nothing on my end. Hopefully we hear something soon.

Anybody that hasn't received their items I'd suggest you put in a claim against your payment provider.

That’s going to be tough with Paypal ‘friends’

That's the exact reason we suggest all payments are made with a protected method.

It should be ok, I am going through the process now

 

[njspencer79]

I have requested refund as well. I refuse to use F&F unless it’s in person item in hand.

A month is enough time to expect some communication back. Admin I assume is reasonable here?

Small update- I finally received a shipment update with a tracking number today. I await the package and will inform everyone once received.
