Hey guys,
Have an opportunity to buy a couple of vintage Pixie chips for a future ELF project. I notice these have evaporated from ebay in recent years and that some folks are building 'replacement' chips. Is it true these have gotten really scarce? The price I'm being offered for two CDP1861CD with 1977 date code is $65 ea. I'm not averse to paying it, if that's what it costs to have an original. But I don't trust my own gauges of rarity these days.
