WTB Vic-20 NTSC Kernal (901486-06)
Hello - long time lurker, first time poster. I picked up a non-working Vic-20 recently; I've determined that the kernal ROM is the source of the problem. Does anyone here have one for sale, or can you direct me to someone who does? Thanks in advance!

I have what you want,
but from Italy the shipment is expensive,
if you are lucky somebody in your continent could have a ROM for you...

From Germany a worldwide 50g letter is 1.50 euro. It's more from Italy?MCes wrote:I have what you want,

From Italy to USA:
untracked max 20 mm (thin!), max 50 g: 3.70€ (20mm means without bubbles-protection...)

If you send an IC using this type of service, there is a great deal of chance it will get crushed by the letter sorting machines which uses very powerful rotating rubber drums.mrr19121970 wrote:From Germany a worldwide 50g letter is 1.50 euro. It's more from Italy?
It's always safer to send electronic components as packages. I use DVD jewel cases that ensure it is less than 20mm thick and offer decent physical protection.
Be normal.

Heh, I just received my two SwinSID Ultimate boards in an envelope from Hungary. No bubble wrap, just a little bit of regular foam wrapped around the boards. Needless to say, the legs on both boards were flattened. But were they flattened before shipment or during shipment...?eslapion wrote:mrr19121970 wrote:If you send an IC using this type of service, there is a great deal of chance it will get crushed by the letter sorting machines which uses very powerful rotating rubber drums.

I was quite surprised on Amibay when a couple of people complimented the way I package the items I sell. It's so easy to do it right and it costs about 1.50$.
There are so many SwinSIDs which have been sold and the people who offer them still can't get the packing right. So sad.
Be normal.

I appreciate the offiers; I think I've sourced one elsewhere, but I'll be sure to check back in if it falls through. Thanks!

I often get IC's from China/HK, and very few of them has bent legs.
Proper packaging of IC's
Lane: did you get hold of a Kernal replacement? I can burn one for you, but shipping is untracked (around 3.6Euro shipping).
