Dolby B + C - Rare Chop?
I pulled a couple of these NE646N Dolby chips off an old phenolic board,
mostly analog chips and transistors. Apparently from some Panasonic audio equipment, whatever. I was surprised to see that a google search turned up a site selling these for over $16, so I guess they're getting kind of rare. Or is it that the newer chips don't require sooo much support circuitry? I dunno. The board's crammed with a lotta caps, transistors, etc. [OT] I saw a Merc Cougar the other day wih the license plate COUGRRR Heh, pretty good. -- @@F@r@o@m@@O@r@a@n@g@e@@C@o@u@n@t@y@,@@C@a@l@,@@w@ h@e@r@e@@ ###Got a Question about ELECTRONICS?

The same chip is 6 Bucks in Australia (about US$4.50). The only possible reason for the difference, is greed (of the supplier). I am, however, certain that Dolby do (or did) receive a small amount from the sale of every Dolby IC. That amount does not account for the huge differences in price, in different parts of the planet. -- Trevor Wilson www.rageaudio.com.au |
