[sdiy] Blacet Time Machine Bare PCBs in MOTM & Frac sizes

[rob at emulatorarchive.com]

Hi list,
Over the last few months I have found utsource to provide high quality 
parts 90% of the time. However they have been caught out with shipping 
me fakes as they don't electrically test the chips. Their suppliers can 
ship fakes to them and then on they go to us customers. They have 
refunded me once the problem was spotted but be wary of low prices, and 
test the chips immediately so you can return them if fake of damaged. 
There are alot of fake chips around. Try and get actual photos of the 
chips and know your date codes. I have had plenty of other suppliers say 
they have stock but they will not send a sample or photo, and some claim 
1980 chips are RoHS compliant. utsource have also taken payments from me 
and then found that they really can't source the chips. However they 
have been some good successes like CA3019.

Regards
Rob
