[sdiy] SN76477 pin ball machines!

[Brice D. Hornback]

Keep dreaming...

Why do you think the price of these chips ranges from as low as I am asking
to as much as $100+ each?  Because those that have them will *not* part with
them.  Do you honestly believe that someone out there who repairs antique
arcade machines and the few pinball machines that actually used the SN76477
would part with them when they may have a use for them in the future?  Have
you priced spare boards for the vintage machines?  I know several people who
collect and restore vintage arcade games and I know for a fact that anyone
who has parts for them won't "trow them  for free at you!".

Maybe someone with a Blacet Dark Star Chaos Rev. 0 or Rev. A (N-wide chip)
or Rev. B (NF-narrow chip) has a spare SN76477 chip and is *certain they
will never need it* and give it to you.  Think so?

Come on... be realistic.

Take care,
Brice
