Hi, Gary It is may be a pull from a recycled chassis. I ordered a generic Sony jungle ic and it had pry marks on the body and surface scratches on top. It worked fine, I guess that's what matters.

Does anyone have experience with this particular IC as a generic- regarding quality? I hate to spend $60.00 CDN to get it only to find out it is junk like the CX1477AS generics. -- Gary McCartney McCartney Electronics Guelph Ontario Canada Est. 1984 email: gary (at) number63.ca >> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lost Password: http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Login Problems?".
