Desperately need MSM5205 OKI speech chip

[Bill]

Does anyone out there have an MSM5205 OKI speech chip I might buy. I am
trying to repair an old Data East Pinball machine that has a bad sound board
and it looks to be the voice chip. It appears that this chip is extremely
obsolete and the only way I can get a hold of one is by buying a minimum of
8 pieces for 30 some bucks a piece. In lieu of the 5205 how about a
MSM6585, it appears to be a drop in replacement for the 5205. I really need
some help on this as I have 3 little girls who keep asking when 'daddy's
game' is going to be fixed so they can bounce the balls around again.

Thanks

Bill

Have you tried asking John Robertson at John's Jukes in Vancouver? His
website's http://www.flippers.com and this kind of thing is his
specialty. Good luck!

Just took a look at his site and the chip is not listed on his "A few Rare
Transistors and IC's - special pinball/video game stock items..." page and
it says there that it isn't listed they don't have it. I tried the link he
has to "Main Electronics" but they don't seem to carry ICs at all. Thanks
for the link though.

Nope, not what I'm looking for, the one I need is from OKI semiconductor and
is labeled MSM5205. Thanks anyway.

He might have a whole board stashed somewhere, John's come through a
couple times with really oddball stuff I was looking for.

I dropped him an email explaining what I need, here's hoping he can help.
I'd really like to get this going again just so I can watch the 4 year old
up on a step stool banging the flipper buttons and laughing her head off

Thanks

Hi Bill,
Even if John doesn't have that chip, he'd be one of the best people
to suggest some workaround to get your sounds back. Now that you've
e-mailled him about it, I wish you success.

And if that doesn't work, try posting on rec.games.pinball, lots of guys
on there have parts.

I assume you tried the Pinball newsgroup. I am sure someone over there can
help.
