Well others may have more experieince of this, but new SID chips are very hard to get hold of these days, you may have to buy a complete C64 to get at a working chip.

Do a search on google and see what you come up with, some retro place might have a couple for sale.

Thanks for helping, I guess I could just use an emulator and forget my old machines but its no quite the same. I will keep on looking for those chips.

Ask around if there's any local retro collectors. People like me have a basket of old C64's and plenty broke and just kept for spares that they'd give free to agood home!
