I'd just move on man, the part was a buck fifty, you've already spent more than that in your time with them. Don't sell yourself short and don't consider it a prinpicle move, no huge company is going to see the principle involved on a buck fifty part. Your time is more valuable than that, don't waste another second of it thinking about that buck fifty.
Immediately after your reply, I ordered from this company. I ordered an LA7823 and an LA7831. Unfortunately, the picker was dyslexic or lazy and sent an LA7832 and LA7831 (I assume the boxes are next to each other). They arrived on Saturday 2/26. I called Electronix on Monday 2/28 and they said they would immediately send me the correct IC. The next Monday, 3/7, I called for a status. They said they shipped it and I should receive it any day. on 3/14 I called again and they said they're not sure where they sent it, and even though my original order was priority mail with a tracking number which I paid extra for, they sent this one regular post, and they can't even confirm they sent it to the right address. They told me that they had more on order, and would call me Tuesday to let me know when I would get the chip I ordered. No phone calls, no emails, I call them today and their order was placed on backorder (dude actually blamed the Japan crisis), and told me, diplomatically, that I'm SOL until they get more chips in (they don't have an ETA), or (with luck) they get the one they sent out returned to them. I asked them if I'm flagged in the system for the first one received into inventory, and he said that I'd have to call periodically to check up on it.
F*** Electronix. I will NEVER use them again. If ordering from Bob Roberts wasn't such a pain in the ass, I would have just done that originally. (BR was also considerably more expensive....about 10x)
You went through all that and think ordering from Bob is a pain? Email Bob, get total, Bill pay a check from your bank, get parts and eat moon pies around Mardi Gras.![]()

O.K...Yeah. I didn't KNOW I'd go through all of that. OBVIOUSLY hindsite is 20/20. I found a site, that someone recommended, that would take my card over the site, instead of having to send some specialized check and pay 7x more for it...
Obviously my BAD experience isn't valid...
You might have better luck looking for the NTE compatible part.
nte7123
Looks like mouser has some on order and found some random site with them in stock, but you know how those can be. Looks like MCM has them. That is a big outfit if you don't want to wait for mouser.

Can anyone confirm that the NTE part will work? I've heard these K7000 Chassis' are pretty particular.
Don't see any reason why it would not work. You can cross reference parts on NTE's site. I have never had a problem when I used one of their parts when the original was hard to find. Look up the part and you can check their datasheet against the original part to make sure it meets or exceeds the original spec.

When I need an NTE part, I check the Fry's Electronics near my work since they have a very large selection of NTE parts on the shelf.
