Keep dreaming...

Im certainly not dreaming, those SN76477 that i got
(all in all 5 of them,)one i bought for 2,5 euro
from a local component supplier who i think still
have a small stock of them, the rest four came
from various broken pinball machines from
various places which was REALLY thrown at me for
free, in which one IC was partly functioning.

So that makes four working IC at very little cost.

Sorry to say that you dismiss pinball machines
that easy, maybe you are angchious that other
people will find these before you for free? 
Otherwise its a nice source of neat things like
solenoids for instance!

Its not my problem that there are some very crazy
americans collecting all kind of trash and hoping
to fool people into paying zillions for farty sound
IC's! ;-) 

(maybe that will stir you up a bit! ;-)
