paging andrewb, our PMs seemingly don't work?
I have a Tempest that I had replaced every chip in the analog section and in my divine wisdom decided I would reflow the chips and that didn't work out so well with the exposed traces on the top of the board. legs wound up bridged together on the 6012 chips (rusty on Tempest, I think that's what they're called) and I thus made the mistake of probably nuking every chip in that section, cause now I'm back to perma-spotkiller.
I reloaded on sockets from GPE last week, I have everything socketed this time, and I swapped everything over to another board that wasn't wrecked by someone's previous solder work. andrewb also suspected board 1 may have had a logic issue, even though no errors came up in test mode.
so, if anyone knows what suitable replacements are for these parts, I welcome any and all intelligence. unless there's an entire set I can buy again.
thank you
