[sdiy] Possible availability of more CEM parts/uA726s

I have been offered some additional NOS CEM3372s (which I'm sure I can sell) and 
some CEM3394s.

I haven't had any CEM3394s for years, and I don't know what the demand is.

So, if I offer these they will be $30ea but in order to make it worthwhile, I 
have to sell at least 30 of them.

Now, 7 years ago I did this same request and the result is Internet legend (I 
got over 2300 emails for people saying they would buy CEM chips if I offered 
them, and sold exactly 11 chips the first month. It took me almost 4 *years* to 
BREAK EVEN).

Being gullible, here I go again: if you REALLY PROMISE to buy at least 1 CEM3394 
within 2 months, send an email to THIS address:

syntht at yahoo.com

with your quantity. You WILL be "spammed" by me when I get them (will take about 
2 weeks). That gives you time to get a money order or set up PayPal.

Again, this is only for the CEM3394s (not the 3372s, they sell OK). I do not 
want to be stuck with these 3 years to break even.

Lastly, I've been offered 2 lots of 25ea uA726H (metal cans) Fairchild NOS. 
These are HARD to find and $$$. Well, again I can offer these for $75ea but I 
have to sell 1 lot to break even. So, if you want these for your MiniMoog, 
System 700 VCOs or other "crank up the heat" synth, drop me a line.

But ONLY IF YOU WILL COMMIT.
