FREE PARTS THIS WEEKEND ONLY - 03/08 to 03/09 - Sound Chips, DACs, RAM, Etc

[Daviea]

This is my FREE parts post for the weekend of 03/08/08 - 03/09/08.  BYOAC members only!

All of the below items are free to anyone here on BYOAC.  All you have to do is PM me with your request before any given item is depleted.  And when I say free, I really mean FREE.  I'm not asking for nor will I accept shipping money or donations for these items.  Just pick ONE item from the list below and PM me immediately.  This offer is only good for the weekend listed above.  After that, I'm back to work on various projects here at RAM Controls (Yes, the SW YOKE is almost done. Stay tuned for a separate announcement on the subject, complete with pictures.)


Let's start off with some chips.

2101 RAM (used in a lot of old Atari boards - Centipede, Millipede, Missile Command, etc)
MM5280N-5 (cross for 2107 - used in Space Invaders and similar boards)

I'll give 8pcs of ONE of the above part numbers to the first TEN people who PM me.


Here's some more chips:

ER2055 EAROM (non-volatile memory chip used on pretty much every classic Atari board - crosses to NC7055 - hard to find now)
Z80CTC (this is a common Z80 support chip used on all of the Bally/Midway MCR series boards - tron, discs of tron, tapper, timber, spy hunter, etc)
TMS5200NL (speech chip used on a bunch of pinballs)
TMS5220CNL (speech chip used on a lot of classic Atari boards - Gauntlet, Star Wars, etc)
AY-3-8910 (sound chip used on Bally/Midway MCR series boards and more!)
SN76489AN (sound chip used on something, but I forgot what. LOL)
TDA1004 (sound amplifier chip used on most of the old Atari B&W games - this one is extremely RARE!!!)
MB3730 (sound amplifier chip used on Bally/Midway stuff...Galaga comes to mind.)
LM379S (sound amplifier device used on Q*bert and others like it - this is is very RARE!!!)

I'll give ONE piece of ONE of the above part numbers to the first TEN people who PM me.


Since these did so well last week, I'm offering them again:

AM6012PC DACs (used on a heap of old Atari vector boards)
AD561JD DACs (used on Asteroids boards)
MC1495L (used on pretty much ALL of the Atari vectors)

These are somewhat expensive parts (and hard to find).  I'll give a couple pieces of ONE of the above part numbers to the first FIVE people who PM me.


Ok, on to non-chip items I think people here may like:

HAPP 3" trackball roller kit - (this is a reproduction item I've made)
HAPP 2.25" trackball roller kit - (this is a reproduction item I've made)
SW Yoke Rubber Bumper Kit (4pcs) - (this is a reproduction item I've made)
SW Yoke Thumb Button Kit (2pcs) - (this is a reproduction item I've made)
Lunar Lander Aluminum Handle Grip (1pc) - (this is a reproduction item I've made - it's a hard black anodized handle for Lunar Lander thrust controllers)
Lunar Lander Handle (1pc) - (this a reproduction item I've made - it's the chrome plated metal part that the black handle attaches to)
Lunar Lander Springs (2pcs) - (this a reproduction item I've made - used on Lunar Lander thrust controllers.)
Atari Tall Black Button Cone kit (3pcs) - (this is a reproduction item I've made, hard black anodized)
Atari Short Black Button Cone kit (3pcs) - (this is a reproduction item I've made, hard black anodized)
Atari Short Silver Button Cone kit (3pcs) - (this is a reproduction item I've made)
Atari Red LED Button kit (3pcs) - (this is a NOS part made by Licon, though I am making a reproduction part with many color options which should be available soon: translucent red, green, yellow, blue, white...solid black and solid white)

Each of the roller kits include two encoder shafts and one idler shaft - NEW PARTS.  Since these items weigh more than the chips, I'm limiting how many I'll give away.  I'll give ONE item from the above list to the first FIVE people who PM me.

Ok, that's it for this weekend.  I hope you guys find something you can use.

Remember, only choose ONE item from the above list.

Again, there's NO need to send me ANY money for these, I'll cover shipping.  Don't even worry about making the gesture as it's not at all necessary.

I'm trying to help people who may NEED this stuff to work on their existing project games, so if you don't need anything presented here, leave it for someone who does.

I possess an immense selection of parts, but this is all I can come up with for this weekend.  PM me if you have any other requests.  I'll try to help if I can.  I'm only taking requests for the above items TODAY and TOMORROW.  After that, I'm back to work on the controller projects.

I will try to make this a weekly thing, at least until I run out of stamps (I've got a few rolls left of 33 cent, 37 cent and 39 cent stamps).

ENJOY

WOW.

Seeing a list like this makes me wish I had a project here that needed one of those parts...

I'll leave them for others, but wanted to extend some thanks and gratitude for what you're doing; there are times I'd give my left nut to get that last part I needed to fix something.

Thanks!

Hi David,

Any plans on selling chips via ebay? IIRC, you or someone at RAM was selling under the name SVDistributing?
Or perhaps you would be so kind and sell me a few various chips as I'm having severe withdrawals since
arcadechips.com's recent inactivity.

Hey Lance,

That would have been Jim who was selling those parts.  I supplied him with many parts, but he's pretty much gone now.  I have no plans to sell chips or anything else on ebay.  If you need something, you can always contact me directly.

Thanks
