Where can I get a replacement IC socket for my A2000?
« on: April 05, 2005, 07:56:24 PM »
I have battery corroded socket that needs to be replaced for the 68000 CPU.  Where can I get one of these?  I live in Dallas, TX.  Online or local?  

Also, what is the spacing of this 64 - pin IC socket?

Excellent!  Thanks for the info.  I did not even think about the strip style sockets.  I have not been successful finding a 64-pin IC block and I did not know the pin spacing or the width for internet order.  

I will go see if Radio Shack has the strips and I will break it down to 32 pins.

There is a store for anyone in Dallas call Tanner Electronics that has alot of this type of stuff.  I called them and they said they did not have 64 pin DIP IC sockets.

Thanks again. :-)

Thanks.  Found one at Fry's Electronics.  It was the last one.  I replaced it and the battery and it still won't boot.  I wanted to get it running for selling the whole system on eBay.  
I will be posting it later today if anyone is interested.

Thanks again for everyone's help. :-D
