Sorry if I wasn't clear. The lady who was supposed to ship today/tomorrow is the one who changed the prices and claims now that it was a refurbished price, not new. So we're back to the original supplier at 10.81/chip (Original 6.51, plus the 4.30 increase) so that we'll at least have new chips.Man, what a run around. Hope you get the shipping notification soon so no one else can change prices again.
oh no, you were perfectly clear. Just seems these vendors are quoting before verifying and then changing when you're serious to buy. Just hope the original vendor doesn't try again.Sorry if I wasn't clear.

Probably, yes. But I don't feel comfortable gambling everyone else's money on that assumption. If literally everyone else wants to opt for the named refurbished ones for the original price, I will make it happen, but it's kinda got to be unanimous.They are probably all refurbished chips no matter who you buy from. Rumor was these were all taken from pachinko machines or something. Sort of like looking for new DIP EPROMs at this point. You just have to go used and hope they are legit and working. That’s also why the price on the 161 carts is able to be so low.
Can you post a comparison shot of the two? I'm still a tad unclear what STILT means.These SMD mounted stilt PCBs are a joke; because they have a bit of solder on the posts from the removal process, when you put them into the programmer, good luck removing them without ripping traces.
Are you talking about how on the underside of the stock daughterboards the pins are SMD? That's STILT?The stock flash PCBs are all SMD. The legs rip off the pcb just by looking at this.
No carts here, just parts for folks to make their own carts.just found out about this, Am i too late? or maybe piggy back on someones order? i just want 1 cart please
Ah, gotcha. I'll see what's spare once we've got a finished head count and stuff in hand.ok sure . i also meant just enough parts to do a cart but ya this solves the problem unless someone ends up not wanting thier whole order
I appreciate your concern. Got two layers of payment protection, so we should be fine in that regard at least.I would be very careful with what I was buying. I would not even consider it unless its escrow, odds are those ic's are fakes. That ic in reality is more like a $20 chip if you can even find it.
Best of luck,
Mark
