> Have some people ordered delay chips and got something else?

Me ,hopefully for only two chips ...I am sure i am not the only one...

So to St Thomas who do not believe me, please check pictures of the two MN3005
chips i have received  from HKSS ( approx two years ago ... )

If you have never seen a fake chip here are some. Not even well done as you
can see. There are traces of cutted legs ( probably an old logic chip) ,
masked by sanding top and bottom surfaces , etc...

I offer you a full box of the best french Champagne bottles if you can make a
working delay/flanger with those (supposed to be) BBD chips !


Check also the SynthDIY archives , Mr ChipForBrain  have posted some
explanations by the time on the list about this 'industry'... but i had ordered
mine before to read the thread& warnings...

It is also not my use to send this kind of post on the higly respectable and
appreciated SynthDIY without prooves..

> How do you know that the seller wasn't also defrauded?

By the time HKSS had an 'hiden profile' on ebay for years ...Honest people do
not need to hide their profiles ...Ok this should have warned me by the time,it
is by making errors we learn...

 Now HKSS has probably stopped and sold enough other things ( poor quality and
probably illegal copies of knobs and other parts  ) to dissolve all this into
his profile ... So it look like a good powerseller  with the best prices and so
on ...For me HSKK is definitively burned and identified as at least a bandit or
worse a chineese mafia member! CQFD ...
