 lovely US folk get your spares from since ebay seems a bit ridiculous for
 replacements at ukp8 a pop being the lowest price. They're surely not THAT
 valuable? 
 eBay does have some pretty cheap options...

 Bearing in mind that although this looks authentic, it may be a re-mark,
 and it will still probably be a working 6502. 
That's interesting, I wonder why those didn't come up in any of my searches
last night. They're all refurbs though other than straightening and
polishing the legs I'm unsure how a chip can be 'refurbished' :)
Found an article from someone saying they'd bought one for a 1541 and it's
fine so definitely worth a punt.
Thanks!
