For old chips, I look on Ebay ( and a few other sites ) to see if any have sold.

An example is a Reticon R5101 ... those go for $40 - $80 each

(( Also a good idea to look up board from very old computers - graphics cards, RAM moduals, and the like can be worth hundreds ))

Thanks. I have a lot of boards, ram etc.... kicking around. I'll give it a try
