A friend of mine told me that MOS Tech buildings a.k.a. Commodore Semiconductor Group, are about to be demolished!
Site is under heavy cleanup from any pollution. The cleanup is performed by EPA (US Environmental Protection Agency).
The person who talked with this friend of mine has told him that in the warehouses are entire stocks of MOS chips that will be destroyed or given for free due to the fact that the boxes in which chips are stored has been ruined by water flood...
So it is not sure if these chips are still good or even functioning...
..But sure there should be plenty of 8520 CIA Chips that could be used as Amiga Classic spare parts...

Recent news I found with a brief Google search about MOS Tech:

http://www.epa.gov/reg3hscd/super/sites/PAD093730174/index.htm#ContactsMOS Tech/Commodore Semiconductor Group is based in Pennsylvania.
Is there any former amigan in Pennsylvania who could perform a survey and check if these stocks of chips are for real and it is also real that these chips are given for free?
Sites to be checked:
The Commodore Semiconductor Group site, located in Norristown, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania
Also (
)
integrated circuit manufacturing plant in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.
I wonder if DiscreetFX or Individual Computers are interested in MOS CIA Chips, or even SID chips (if there any in the warehouse).
