| Sorry to hear of your gain, Edd. ;^)
Try Active Electronics in Westboro. They are supposed to be the best
stocked of "normal" and "weird" chips...

| 498.2 | Use a Replacement Part! | CLOVAX::RATASKI | Tom Rataski | Tue Sep 09 1986 11:47 | 9 |
| When I was working in audio repair (10-12 years ago), I replaced
may of such critter.
You should be able to find a cross replacement by ECG (Sylvania)
or SK (RCA) and if HEP (Motarola) if still around. Try your local
electronic supply house and they should be able to criss-cross it
for you. I do mean a real wholesale electronic supply house not
CHIPS-R-US or what-have-you.

| 498.3 | 1 out, tracks are empty... | JAWS::COTE | Etude Brut? | Tue Sep 09 1986 16:21 | 6 |
| ...just called Active. Hinde! Nada! Nyet!
They X-reffed it to a Nu-Tone (sp?) NTE-1020 but don't carry any
Nu-Tone chips....

I know it sounds a bit primitive, but have you called Akai field
service?
Last time I needed one of those 9 pin SIP audio amps, it was for
a Clarion auto power amp. I called them, and they shipped COD in
3 days. After trying to find an equivalent at You've Done It, Horizon,
Eli's, Newark, Gerber, and Active/Future.
It's worth a try, and less of a headache than looking for substitutes.

| 498.6 | The thot plickens.... | JAWS::COTE | Etude Brut? | Wed Sep 10 1986 09:10 | 14 |
| I know this sounds unbelievable, but last night I actually BOUGHT
the unit. (Good price.)
I have the print set on it. Nowhere does it give a U.S. address
for service/parts. Can some one provide the U.S. address? The
only address is some place in Huchicuchi, Japan....
I *do* have a schematic of the chip, plus a template if
I decide to burn my own PCB.
Tom... Can you suggest a functional equivalent?
Thanks

I've looked around for you, Edd, and the only info I caould come
up with is:
Akai America, P.O. Box 6010, Compton, CA 90224-6010
Try calling Compton information. Sorry I couldn't find anything
more concrete.

| 498.11 | ECG part is Obsolete | CLOVAX::RATASKI | Tom Rataski | Wed Sep 10 1986 16:50 | 14 |
| I checked to see what I used back when. I used an ECG part number.
Can't find the particular ECG number now. When I look it up in the
current ECG replacement catalog I get the nice little OBS-NLA which
translates to OBSOLETE - NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
I also checked RCA replacements. No luck. not listed.
If you can find a electronic place that has had the ECG line for
a long time (~8 yrs) they may have one laying around on the shelf.
Sorry that I can't be of any more help.

| 498.12 | News flash from the Rat Shack | ORACLE::WATERS | | Wed Sep 10 1986 21:38 | 13 |
| By the way, folks, your neighborly Radio Shaft (or whatever you
like to call it) now accepts orders for onesie-twosies of just
about any semiconductor device. They've wired themselves into
a big replacement parts outfit, and they have the big replacement
catalog available for your perusal in the R.S. retail stores.
I haven't ordered by this method, but they claim 2 weeks turnaround,
I think. Of course, the part number game that you play with the
catalog probably requires some exposure to the repair business,
or plain old ESP. I don't know if this service has been made
available in all of their retail outlets yet...
