I am in the process of restoring a couple of Dynaco FM5 tuners that came to me off a scrap-heap as the stereo decoders on board had failed. I am having a devil of a time finding them in small quantities at anything resembling a reasonable cost. The Usual Chinese Sources are cheap enough - but I have been unable to make direct contact. This is a chip that has been discontinued, apparently, since the 1980s.
 
I would like two (2) pieces. Ideally, four (4) keeping two as spares.
I am willing to pay around $5 each, and reasonable shipping from anywhere.
 
Thanks in advance!

I did a Google search. Vetco claims to have 11 available at $6.47 each.

They also list a zillion part numbers for equivalents.

Thank you for this. Anything from a US-based supplier will be very much better than from a China-based supplier. I have (at least) a reasonable chance of not getting a knock-off.
 
I am wondering why I could not find this source - perhaps because I did not search on the NTE number.

It is early, but it looks like a regular chip to me, and all the data sheets show external coils. Early, but not *that* early.
 
Thanks for your response.

I did what you all said, the family isn't complaining. I haven't made up my mind if I like it or not, but I don't watch much TV, it's mostly for the wife and daughter.
