[vcf-midatlantic] How many c64s?

[Dan Roganti]

speaking of custom chips, there was another article about this topic,
regarding the eb at y auctions from china. Wondering of anyone else saw this.
That the cause of the fake parts, which has been a hot topic for many
years, is the result of the mistaken identification of components. Since
the wearing and fading of the ink of the part# after 35+yrs while sitting
in warehouses, and also from just cleaning the parts. Most of the parts are
marked correctly,and they apparently used fake datecodes to distinguish the
re-stamped parts. Presumably they acquired all of these computers from the
sales during liquidation or simply just e-waste shipped overseas. Some of
the part suppliers in the article, who buy these parts by the thousands
directly from these sellers iso eb at y, vouch for theses sources.
