Dallas may still have the chip in stock. A direct replacement for your SG
Thompson is the Dallas DS1642. It doesn't matter what speed you buy so
see if they have any of that chip type in any speed. I know from speaking
with Mouser that they won't have the chip for several weeks....
Your situation is different since you apparently did not destroy the
ocillator in your repairs as did I. I just hacked that batt on to the
chip anyway and dealt without a battery-backed-up rtc for awhile while my
replacement was shipping.
I boxed the SG Thompson morphodite part I created in case I should need
it.
