I have been searching for a supply of these chips for some time now with no luck. In particular, I am looking for a few SAD-1024s and a few SAD-4096s to use in some DIY projects. Thomas Henry has designed an analog delay around the SAD-4096 that looks really nice (see it at http://www.midwest-analog.com/diy-del.html).

Does anybody know where I can get a few of these???

Thanks!
