[sdiy] CA3080s purchased - now available in smaller lots

[Tim Parkhurst]

You know, I'd love to see an inventory of what chips SDIY members have. For
example: the 3080 is supposedly not available anymore, but I'd wager that
SDIY members have somewhere between two to three thousand of them (including
the 1000 from JLH and 500 from Tom Arnold). I've got twenty sitting in a
tube myself. I've also got 566s, twenty-three various CEM and SSM chips, a
few BBDs, and a partridge in a pear tree. Maybe we could put together some
sort of global SDIY chip database (or even just an informal list). That way,
if someone REALLY had to have an XYZ chip to repair a vintage synth (first
priority for rare chips) or some other reason, at least members could see if
it was available. Or maybe the chip listing would just be interesting from a
geek 'look at all the cool stuff we've got' standpoint.
