I found a few of these on some of my Speech boards. It seems to be the less
common of the two.

I haven't found any sound differences whatsoever. Maybe Al should put a search
out for the other chip, also.

I don't know if the 8035 or 8039 matters. I've been using the 8035s
exclusively to repair these boards. The 8039 has been found on boards with the
ORATOR, so I don't think there is a difference (I think we may have already
