Maybe that's where my vendor originally got their price from? They
actually thought the 1771 was worth more then $20ea...Thanks to the tip
about B.G. Micro selling the chip for $5, my vendor decided to match the
price.

Well, I now have a pair of brand new WD1771 chips
on hand, one for my
model 1, and one spare. A local vendor I use will sell me as many chips as
I need for $5ea. They have both the WD and National versions of the chip.
I imagine they have another 25-40+ chips left in stock, tho a good many of
them need to have their pins straightened.
Our local Gateway Electronics store has these in stock, but they
actually think they're worth more than the 179x types. Neither is
under $10. Fortunately, there's no associated stock issue for me.
