RE: Atari vector chip

I'm going to guess that you're referring to the "AVG" chip. (I can't
remember the number-- 12279? something like that)

(If it's bad you'd probably not get any picture at all.)

If your symptoms are more along the lines of messed up sound and strange
game behavior, it's probably the POKEY (12294?). I have those at $3 a
pop. (And before anyone lectures me about O'shea selling them in
Ballblazer carts for $.80 each, you're absolutely right. That's where I
got mine. I also had to disassemble, desolder, and test the little
buggers, so they're $3.00. ;-) (I should have taken a picture of the
carnage-- 200 ball-blazer boxes on my garage floor. About 10" deep...)

I have a daughterboard replacement for the AVG chip done, but haven't
had enough interest in them to merit a production run.

(I'd need a total of about 42 orders at $25 each to justify running the
boards...)

As an alternative I can sell you a "real" AVG chip for $35 (not cheap,
but it's an option).
