[sdiy] Reticon R5101.... time to get brilliant

[Nicholas Pelkey]

I have an MXR stereo chorus.  I was recently told by a tech (whos opinion is questionable) that my reticon r5101 ic is shot.  I believe it was a ground issue that burned it out.  I had found one but the "guy" that had it wanted to check out my pedal to "verify" that that was the issue.  He is not associated with any lists...so no.  I also saw one or two stereo chorus' on ebay..but could not confirm if the ic was working in those situations (doa pedals).  So my challenge to the list is to find a replacement ic.  By this I mean something of a 16 pin nature (will confirm) that would be "fun".  Anything I could stick in this thing to have it work.... and it doesn't need to be a chorus.  Hey maybe a clock/counter ic? Or any sort of circuit I could build and then connect it via the ic connector.  There are a few of these things out there and the ic is near impossible to replace.. so this could be a useful and worthwhile analog undertaking.
Let me or the list know after some brainstorming!!
