SIMM sockets hard to find

[awe4k]

Hi all,

I have just bought an A4000. Its SIMMS sockets (guess what...) do not hold the RAM bars in place anymore. I have desoldered them all, and I have installed new sockets, with good, metallic, brackets. However, I only have four of those, and I need five (1 for CHIP and 4 for RAM). I am having difficulties to source it.

Does anyone know where can I get hold of those? I am in northern Spain, but it is fine with me if I can reach a mail order company that can supply it.

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for the advice. I have some old PC motherboards that have these sockets too, but the problem is that I need the type that holds the bars at an inclination. I am familiar with desoldergin/soldering, but does the equipment that you propose to buy for the spares have "inclined" SIMM sockets?

Thanks again!

WOW! Impressed. I'd propose for dinner if I lived somewhere nearer :-)

By the way, the post is still open to further suggestions.
