I am repairing a unit that is used to test vending machine coin mechanisms. A faulty coin mechanism was plugged in blowing up the transistors which seems to be kind of common. I have repaired several before. This time the transistors held together burned tracks on the board and the main CPU on the daughterboard let out a heap of smoke but no trace damage on the daughterboard.
I repaired / removed the faults and the base board works with another CPU, but I need to replace the chip. I have tried 2 companies from google searching so far and both say they have stock until an order is placed then no stock. One seller on eBay lists for $120 each, which is out of the budget. AU$50 Max I’m willing to gamble on this.
