Bit of a long shot, but I don't suppose anyone on here has got a scrap one
of these languishing up a corner in their cellar or wherever ? Owner of a
shop that I do a lot of work for has been given one of these lovely old
units, but the VFD is busted. Other than that, it all seems to work just
fine. It's an NEC 16 character 'starburst' type. Seems its actual number is
FIP16A5. There are references on the 'net, but no one stocking such an item
even as NOS. Anyone help ?

TIA

I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to
pronounce.

How many times do I have to tell you Philip ? This behaviour just gets you
back on that naughty step yet again ...

Now be a good little sheep-shagger, take your meds that you've forgotten
again, and crawl back under your stone until you feel better. Then, if
you've got anything valid to say, we might let you back in ...

It's called psychoticaussietwatitis. When he remembers to take his meds,
it's quite well controlled. Unfortunately, every few weeks, he forgets them,
and then has an episode like this. Sad, really, because when it's properly
controlled, he can be quite lucid, and occasionally shows flashes of what
almost passes for intelligence in the normal world ...

Thanks very much for that. I put the owner onto it, but I'm not sure if he
is going to be able to get it, as the seller is in the US and we are in the
UK. When he tried to do a 'buy it now' on it, it refused him as not
qualifying for some of the sellers set criteria for buyers, and the one
causing the problem was "seller does not ship to your location". He is now
in the process of contacting the seller to see if he will exempt him from
the condition as it is small and Jiffy-baggable, and ship it anyway. Again,
thanks for the pointer.

Worldwide shipping on Ebay is all the duff countries that sellers are
exposed to. If its a problem I'm sure some of us Stateside can help with
shipping a small item.

I have for sale if you still need.

I am in Atlanta Ga

Got it off an old Oberheim thought is the exact same part!

Also have a PCM 70 NOS somewhere in here...

If I find it I will give a quote.

Thanks very much Nate - that's very helpful. Can you please mail me
off-group using the same address as I used to post this, so we can discuss
exactly what you have, and how much you need for it ? Thanks

You have the part number mangled. It's an NEC FIP1615R.
Plenty of substitutes available:

The Lexicon PCM70 was first made in about 1988. That's 23 years.
Please adjust your abacus.

I just fixed a Digitech TSR-24 which was first made in 1995. I guess
16 years doesn't qualify. However, my Korg DSS-1 was first made in
1986, which is 25 years old, and certainly qualifies.

Replaced a couple edge connectors for the gate and voice cards.
Hard to beat the sound of one of these in the right hands.

I still fix the odd AMS DMX and RMX units, and the mighty Lexicon 224XL.
Some of these must be well over 30 years old now.
