[sdiy] FS: CEM 3374 and 3372, six apiece. (crossposted with apologies)

okay so i have these CEM chips. i don't really know what they're  
worth, but the last 3374 on ebay went for 200 dollars, which i think  
is completely preposterous. no IC is worth 200 dollars.

here's some nice pretty macro photos of the lot:

all 12 chips were pulled from a Chroma Polaris that had a completely  
unrepairable membrane panel design flaw (just using a membrane panel  
is a design flaw, but this one was nonfunctional to boot), but was  
functional via MIDI.

since the engineering of this thing insulted me, i pulled all the  
analogue chips out of it and threw the rest in my dumpster on top of  
a Kimball home organ which we didn't even bother to break down  
because it had absolutely nothing salvageable in it. and which  
managed to have a bench which weighed nearly as much as the organ  
because they used 1" MDF and tuck-and-roll gnawgahide.

the CEM chips are in a nice fancy anti-static TI-branded tube, the  
rest of the chips are in an anti-static bag.

525 USD takes the whole lot shipped in the US. that works out to like  
a dollar a chip (approx.) considering the inside of this thing was a  
chip farm. add an extra 10 bucks if i have to fill out a customs form.

i offer it as a lot because there was some chatter about matching the  
3372s a year or two ago in the list archives, but it seemed like it  
had something to do with lot numbers so that's why i took the nice  
pretty pictures.

and if you _really_ need the keyboard from a Polaris, let me know in  
the next couple of days because the truck takes the dumpster away on  
wednesday.

and if you _really_ _really_ only need one chip, let me know. it'll  
be more than a dollar though.
