OK, not a double gun and hopefully it won't go BO WOOOOP when i finally plug it in but.............


I need a cheap source for a couple "obsolete" intgrated-chips used in older (ca 1999) audio equipment.

Here's the rub; I have a Marantz audio receiver that uses a set of ICs for the power amps (SAP16N & SAP16P(?) that needs to have a burned out pair replaced. These chips were used in various maker's audio amps at the time.

These are available at some UK electronic supply houses for about $4 each BUT they charge almost $100 to ship any to the US &/or only want to sell mass quanitities with equally absurd shipping.

I can find a few in the US but they would cost almost as much as the UK shipping route.

Does anyone have any good sources for small quantities of cheap older chips in North America?

...or is anyone coming over from the UK in near future and willing to buy a pair there (UK/Eu shipping for the one site is only a few euros since they would fit in a small envelope) and mail them to me once in the US?

Thanks for your induldgence,
Lee
