Re: [PolySix] RAM chip

2004-09-09 by The Old Crow

You have to unsolder the old part, which is best done by someone who 
knows how, unless you are good at circuit board re-work.  Once this is 
done, I recommend a good 18-pin IC socket, such as a machined-pin (aka 
turned-pin) type with gold contacts.  About 55 cents for one.

  New RAM chips (and the IC socket) are sold by www.jameco.com.  The 
Jamceo stock number for the RAM chip is #43238 and price for one is $4.  
The IC socket is #65584.
