[Clint]

.... and also some old style closed face with mica on the bottom; 16 Pin Texas Instruments TI IC Sockets.

Dont mind used as long as they work

Why Mostek? Without dragging out the data books. Those TI sockets have gained a reputation for being rubbish, don't think they like round pins.

I think you have to understand collectors. Authentic parts mean a lot to some, regardless of their quality.

That's what I'm guessing, anyway.

 

[Clint]

Yes its authenticity I am after the item is for a framed display and will never be required to be reliable

If you are still after the low profile Texas IC sockets then just noticed that Quarndon.co.uk have thousands. Look for the C84 series which look the type, but they do have others.

Thanks for keeping you eye open, however the ones on their site are modern, they are open faced and no mica

You got me all excited there !!!!

From the 1983 TI data book, the C84 have a mylar anti-wicking film, not certain what closed face means, no gap between the rows of pins? If so then the C87, C88 or C89 might do, just different contact material. The C93 and C98 are the same but gold contacts.

These are what I am after:

Yup, C84 series sockets. Height 0.15", 16 pin body 0.400" by 0.800".

Let me know if you ever see any, I am itching to get the soldering iron hot

Quarndon have thousands, at £0.16 each not going to be too bad to buy and see. Certainly the photo doesn't match the line drawing in the data book.

Still after these, please take a peek in your component boxes
