I was doing some work on my SMC1 microcomputer control unit when I noticed the legs on some of the chips were tarnished. I pulled them out to clean them, and when I pulled out the cpu chip about 4 of the legs stayed in the socket.
Anybody know where I can find a replacement? The chip is a Mostek MK14207N. I don't seem to have much luck even finding a datasheet.
 
Good luck on that!
Are the legs broken clean off at the CPU chip?
If there's anything sticking out of the CPU you've got a chance to try and solider em back on.

Best bet is to buy a used board with a CPU chip on it.
 
Yeah - I think there is enough of the legs left to solder on a repair. I contacted Ron Rich at phonoland and he has some used ones and also has a replacement board, but I just don't have the funds right now.
 
Update

It works!!
I soldered some replacement legs on, but couldn't get anything. The display didn't light up, and the mech would either scan back and forth, or just go all the way to the right and try to keep going even though it was at the end.
Turns out the connector for the two regulators in the MCU box was bad. When I pulled the pins out some were so corroded they just crumbled. Replaced the connector and it fired right up.:D
