I'm about to start mucking about with a few old drum machines (DR-55s, Soundmasters and EDC). These were considered uneconomic to fix, 5 years ago. Now, a DR-55 can go for £200.. Usual problem with DR-55s is the 4011 chips pack up. Maplins are charging nearly a quid for a 4011, and I've found them to be a bit hit-or-miss. And they don't have any in stock locally. Anyone have a suggestion for a cheap UK supplier? Next-up, I have at least one machine which is playing-up as if the RAM chip is duff. Unfortunately, the chip is a Toshiba TC5501P-1. Again, any suggestions for a cheap UK supplier? What's really annoying is that I had a tube of 4011s somewhere (5 years ago). Can I hell find them :(
