DarthLister Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Hello all, opened an Ebay 7800 (untested), to find the crystal chip literally hanging by a leg. Is there a source for those? Thanks, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Hello all, opened an Ebay 7800 (untested), to find the crystal chip literally hanging by a leg. Is there a source for those? Thanks, Rich I forget the frequency of the timing crystals offhand, but most consoles that run on multiples of NTSC colorburst, you can buy the exact crystal needed from parts suppliers. It should be an easy fix. I wish you the best! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 If it is hanging by a leg, is there no other leg to simply hit with a small dollop of solder to reattach it? Or like I do, i actually keep leads I clip from resistors and capacitors and use them as jumpers or to replace legs on components that get broken off etc... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthLister Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Thx, ordered from Best. Had to spend an extra $15 since they have a $20 minimum--anybody wanna TIA chip? Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthLister Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Cross, yeah good idea, but when I mean hanging by a leg, I mean literally--one leg was broken completely, the other was about to break---it did.... Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
