Hi,

there was an early ADC chipset manufactured by Mullard consisting of
FEY101, FEJ271 and 74141 ic's. While FEY101 is still available
FEJ271B seems to be unobtainium. Can someone here help me to get one
or two pieces? Many thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards

Reinhard

Yippieh! Again: Thank you very much! YMMD!

On the other hand I don't understand that my eBay search wasn't
successful <sigh>.

Best regards

Very disappointed

Deeply sorry for having raised false hope...
Was too beautiful to be true.

You are likely already aware of:
http://www.sh-halbleiter.de/products/de/Halbleiter/FEJ271B.html

Polishing up your Portuguese may yield something here?

ANd how about the more radical approach here?

I've already asked - without success.

They seem to ship only to locations in the vendor's country: "Envios
para todo o país".

I don't think I'm able to develop such a special spare part by
myself. Additionally the 5 V supply couldn't deliver enough power for
the CPLD and had to be modified. This isn't possible with my small
Nixie DMM.

Many thanks again for your help.

Best regards

Have you contacted https://www.littlediode.com/ directly, and asked why
they are no longer on ebay? Probably won't help, but can't hurt to try.

Trying not to miss any opportunity I've registered at mercado livre
and asked the vendor if they ship to Germany. The answer: No, only to
locations in Brasil.

Did the vendor also mention why?
What payment methods do they offer?
Had this before on eBay, eventually convinced some of them to ship.
A little spamming with nice questions may help growing confidence
if that would be the problem.
Some vendors accepted after I agreed to take the Paypal fees.

Or ... next summer holidays in Brazil :-)

Cheers!

No :-(!

My Google Translator question:

"Olá, você pode por favor me avise se você enviar para a Alemanha?
Quanto é que os custos de transporte, neste caso? Tenho grande
interesse em alguns espécimes de FEJ 271b! Com os melhores
cumprimentos <my nickname>"

The short but clear reply:

"Só comercializamos o produto em território Nacional (Brasil)"

> What payment methods do they offer?

Payment with credit card; no PayPal.

There's no such opportunity ...

> Or ... next summer holidays in Brazil :-)

I must admit that I'm not a millionaire ;-) ...

I've just asked about the availability of FEJ 271 B. The answer:

"We are sorry we can not supply requested part(s) at present."

"At present": A glimmer of hope?

Bye
