[sdiy] Re: [AH] Possible availability of more CEM parts/uA726s

Yeah, I bought one from him for a Six-trak I am working on.
BTW, is there someone here who has worked on the six-trak I may ask for some
diagnosis help from?  I have the diagnostic eprom, all those checks look
good, but still, no audio out of the thing.  So far, bad z80 and ls138.
Opamps good. Get good +/-4V DAC ramp.  Hmmmm..

Or even less... Someone named "motm-dude" just got some from him for
$13/ea -
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7312617227

There was also someone else trying to sell 16 them for $14/ea and the
auciton ended without any bids... So I would say demand ain't too
high...
