I have dropped into Active about a half dozen times over the past year or so.

I have never seen any C64 stuff there.

  I don't get downtown that much these days. I used to work at Ryerson 
University and got to Active surplus occasionally, but these days I'm stuck in 
Markham ;-)  Anyone have any luck finding Commodore stuff at Active?

  C64 motherboards should be all over the place (dead or alive) at surplus 
places.
  Have you tried Active surplus on Queen/spadina?

    A long shot, but does anyone have any spare PLA chips? They don't seem to 
show up on eBay very often these days...

    I know I can get work-alike replacements for about $10 each but I'd like to 
try to find real chips first if possible.
