I find it very interesting that you have all those old
IC's and whatnot,
since I restore pinball machines and video games from the 80's/90's. I
looked over your list, but you state on the page it isn't complete. Any
chance you have UDN7180 IC's?
I don't have any of these, and didn't know what they were, so when I asked
he said:
UDN7180 is a plasma display driver. It's used in
solid state pinball
machines with 7 segment orange plasma displays. They have a tendency to blow
themselves up from time to time, so I'm always on the lookout for a few.
Anybody know of any of these? Have some maybe?

http://lupinesystems.com/download/ has a circuit board that they designed
to replace that IC.
And http://www.arcadechips.com/product_info.php?products_id=79 is a source
for the chip (at $20 ish a pop currently)
