Recently, there was a thread about buying IC sockets. That reminded me that I have a bunch that I will never use. Sadly, these are not machined contact sockets -- they're all "side wipe" sockets (they contact the broad side of the IC pin, not the narrow edge of the pin.) Here is the available inventory: 40 pin Robinson Nugent (RN) wire wrap - qty 9 40 pin Aries ZIF solder tail qty 1 40 pin Cambion wire wrap qty 4 40 pin "A" brand solder tail qty 34 28 pin AMP solder tail qty 60 20 pin AMP solder tail qty 105 The Museum gets first crack at these, and then y'all can figure out what to do with the rest (all) of them. All except the ZIF socket are NOS. All except the ZIF socket are tin plated. The large quantity items are in plastic "IC" tubes (the original packaging). The sockets are in Jackson, NJ. I can deliver to the Museum in Wall, NJ at the next workshop, or other arrangements can be made. Bill Dudley This email is free of malware because I run Linux.
