[net.micro.cbm] Bad 6560 in VIC-20

A fellow worker has a VIC-20 with a bad 6560 IC. It works when sprayed
with freon but not otherwise. It is out of warranty. It seems the going
price on this chip from an "authorized repairman" is $42.00 !!!!!
We were told that Commodore owns Mostek and there is no other replacement
for the 6560.

Try calling AB Computers is Colmar, PA for a good price
on Commodore chips.  $42 is probably the full gentile price.

I take this as an anti-Semitic reference and feel it is extremely bad
taste. Fooey on you, Porter. I say that because this is a family network.
