Hello Atari folks! I haven't been an Atari user since my 2600 days. I've always been a Commodore guy. These ram chips aren't much use to a Commodore guy, but if I understand it correctly these are more useful for Atari users.
This RAM has been stored in a plastic tube for over 3 decades. They orginally came from an electronics shop that operated in the 70's and early 80's. beyond that, I do not know the history. The gentleman I got it from stated they were unused, but he is elderly and his memory is not what it used to be. There are some solder drops on some of the chips, so I doubt they were all new. From being all lose together in the tube, there is obviously scratches on the top when magnified and some of the pins are slightly bent, but nothing bad at all and most are straight.
These are 32Kx1 chips with a date code of 1979, which should mean be a high gold content and quality RAM.
I'd like to get $400 shipped for the lot, which is less that $3.60 a chip. Does that sound fair? I'm not an eBay fan anymore, so I'd rather sell outside of eBay. I'd also rather not break them up if not needed. I'll guarantee the lot as working. Let me know if there is any interest.
