Wow! That's a pretty amazing E Bay listing. Thanks for posting! It makes you wonder if this is all the stuff that didn't sell at Fosgate's estate sale. Or bulk purchases made there & now being re-sold. It is definitely worth checking out seller's other items.

Too bad the bulk of the spare IC's are the defective NS chips. No Exars I can see in the bunch. I spy some SSM 2120 chips that contain log level detectors and VCA's. Very good specs for that time.

Yeah, the seller is in Salt Lake City, so that’s pretty likely.

My bid is in! Odd the National chips. Perhaps that is all that were still available as the supply of Exars dried up? I don't think even the Tetrasound used the National chips. They should work, just the detector has a different pinout.

Early development of the tetra car decoder may have used the National chips, maybe that is why he has so many? Would love to see a prototype of that!

Good luck Ken! You're the 1st & only bid so far. Too bad they don't have a buy it now price to consider.

Did ya scope some of his other items?

Yes, a lot of cool items. I particularly like the hand-built phono pre-amplifier and Wideband AM/FM tuner. And the Phono Cartridge Crosstalk Reduction Unit.

My bid is in!

Good luck, Ken. I hope you win it. Then you can tell us about this interesting stuff in excruciating QQ detail.

3 TATE II 's , one Tetrasound...and

Large supply (probably the only supply) of NS Chips anywhere.

Good luck on that Ken, and keep us posted .

I feel like a kid in a candy store with all of these Fosgate postings! Wish that I could afford to buy everything!

A couple of days to go but so far you're still the only bidder!

 

[Sonik Wiz]

Well, heck @par4ken . It looks like your max bid was $1,100 & you were out bid 2 mins before closing at $1,125. Isn't it a pain to come that close & have it slip away?

We might see some of these items re-surface on Ebay but having it as a group is what was cool.

I was hoping to possibly buy 1 set of the tate chips from par4ken if he won
If the winner can see this, you have a buyer here!

I got snipe-ed! I hope the winner can see it as well. I wouldn't mind a set of chips at least. I was almost going to bid higher but we a talking a lot of money especially when converted to US dollars, so I chickened out!
