Are they tested?
And is that USD???
I’ve got olny MIDIBOX V1 (based on one 6581) and testing them all seems to me is quite impossible - but I can check few of them all to say sth about it’s sound quality.
Price is in USD but can be in Euro or Polish zloty - depends from Yours decision. Recalculating: $15 ~ 10Eur = 38PLN
Hello! Do you have a web site or any online history (ebay, etc.)?

It’s not impossible. I’ve just finished testing/selling 500 SIDs, and tested/sold 1500 SIDs before that.
You must test them first, because a lot of 6581 SIDs have filters and/or oscillators that do not work.
It is not fair to sell chips that might have a 50% failure rate, as was recently discovered with another 6581 sale.
Maybe they are all good, maybe not. You will not know until you test them, and you cannot expect people not to complain if they pay for broken SIDs.
I even have a testing rig I can send to you, with a ZIF socket attached to an IC socket that can plug into your MB-SID. I don’t use it anymore, since I built the QuadZIF. I’ll send you it for free, if you promise to test every SID you sell, and make sure everyone is getting a fully working SID. I want a few myself! I’d like to know what all the fuss is about… (I sell and use only 6582 SIDs).
I will gladly buy some of your sids, if you test them. I’d like to add a couple 81’s to my mb-6582.
Thanks,
Luke
Hello.

over 500pcs??? hmmmm… i hate to be that guy but, i’ve heard way too many stories lately about so called “new R4’s.” i’d need some serious proof that 1. these exist, 2. they’re authentic, and 3. that they actually are 100% functioning. i would also like to see some sort of feedback… i don’t mean to be rude or antagonistic but you can never be TOO safe these days. i’d buy quite a few from you but i just don’t see this panning out so well… :-X
[edit] here are some links to prove my point: http://kevtris.org/Projects/sid/remarked_sids.html

Yes 
This is my account as biggest Polish auction portal called Allegro.pl http://allegro.pl/show_user.php?uid=264465
as part of previous r4ar sale, i must admit that you absolutely must test each and every one of them before sending out, just as wilba and majjam did.
otherwise, r4ar is very nice ;D ..
Yes

Excellent. If you test them individually, I’d definitely be interested in some. Thanks!
Agreed, I wouldn’t mind a couple but only if they’re tested. I’m not putting down money on something that may not be fully functional.
Thanks for this offer LSD-25 and welcome 
When tested, I am in for 4 sids, maybe more.
Best regards, Asaf
hmmm that image looks like they might be relabeled to me (the text looks too white, pin 1 orientation is not the same). before this becomes an incident of some kind, and with you being so new to the forum, may i suggest that you send some samples to someone with a good reputation here (seppoman, nILS, Wilba…), who can verify the quality? maybe 10 or so, to be paid for after testing, or returned…
I second bugfight’s notion. The text is pretty white and that’s usually the case with relabeled SIDs. The labeling is the exact same that’s been on SIDs sold here before and turned out to be… well let’s just say not too high quality.
Bugfight’s idea sounds pretty good to me, too. I’d volunteer for testing the SIDs (which I would buy afterwards if they’re good) in my mbSIDs, if that’s what needs to be done.

You could try a bit of alcohol to see if the paint goes off, I have done this with some chips that I bought on ebay a while ago,
if they are relabeled it would take off the new layer of paint.
I would gladely put myself up for 2 SID’s after testing. ;D
Might go for two also if they are tested and genuine..
I think we need to be careful of jumping on the bandwagon a bit here, before we have any further details.
My gut instinct is that they are genuine NOS chips, they certainly don’t look like they’re faked. ( http://kevtris.org/Projects/sid/remarked_sids.html ).
However, I stand by my original position. If they’re not tested, i’m not interested.
Did someone can tell me how can I test SIDs in my MIDIBOX ? How procedure looks ? Please be so kind and describe me point by pint :] Thanks

Step one: Know what it should sound like.
Step two: See if it does.
Maybe you should consider sending the SIDs to a trusted forum member to do the testing for you? Of course you’d have to make it worth their while, but it seems like you’re not going to be able to do it yourself.
