I stopped by Selectronics today, but the nice gentleman at the counter said they really weren’t interested in selling small numbers of parts to individuals. From what I could gather, it looks like they recover ICs through e-waste processing, then sell them on the wholesale market. The guy was polite (and checked availability of the parts I was looking for), but clearly wanted me moving along.

I guess it’s Jameco / Digikey / Unicorn and PATIENCE for now! But thanks to Bill W for sending me the 7430.
