|  Re: Looking for MOS 8501
Buying a C16 on eBay may often be the cheapest way to get a spare CPU or TED but..... quite often the seller says (or even can't say) nothing about the machine's state so you risk buying one with exactly the same dead chip(s) that you alerady have. (My bad experience.  )
These computers are perhaps cheap and easy to get on Hungarian auction sites...for a Hungarian. AFAIK vatera.hu is very foreigner-unfriendly and the sellers on teszvesz.hu (which is easy to access for Czechs, Slovaks, Poles and Russians through its sister webs) very often refuse to answer questions in English. I can only guess they are afraid of using online translators.  They would surely love to have more customers and profit otherwise. 
Anyway, cannibalizing a computer that can be fixed is not nice, is it?

I have just bought quite a few new 8501s in Hungary.
I don't know the exact shipping costs to Argentina but I guess one CPU&shipping would cost you a bit more than 10 Euros. Thus it's better to buy more than one piece of this crappy CPU. :D
BTW: There are a few very nice electronic shops in Hungary, I didn't imagine walking into a shop and walking out with a bunch of SIDs, CPUs, CIAs and more before. :D
Too bad I bought the last SIDs they had.
If you want the CPUs let me know.
