    Interesting. I repaired some TTL recently with new from Mouser TI
    parts with not-shiny legs. They soldered fine though so I didn't
    give it much thought until I started reading this thread.<br>

                I saw this happen once with a Bally pinball machine from
                the late '70s, the first generation electronic ones. The

                the ROMs out of the sockets the legs just snapped off. I
