I'm happy to report that a lot of ICs are back in stock. Received in the past weeks are 3081, 6821, 6800, 6810, 6532, 6502 and more. Due to increased demand and dwindling supplies, I've had to raise the prices on some, but some have remained the same, and even a few are lower.
Also, new lower prices on all Novus products! 03/07/07

In addition to the flat $6.00 shipping, there has always been an extra fee for International orders. This has paid for the extra shipping costs, but it means manual paperwork and a trip to the Post Office to stand in line as PayPal does not offer using First Class International postage. Today I've added Priority International as an upgrade option for $20, and hope you will take advantage of it. I will be able to process orders faster and thus you will get your packages quicker. As I learn the true costs, I will adjust the costs up or down as needed, I do not intend to profit or lose from shipping. For more information, please visit the International Shipping Info section of the site. 12/11/07

There is a industry shortage of memory and processor of the types used on pinball boards, mainly the 6800 and 6500 series. To compound the issue, many chips are "pulls", which isn't preferred, but better than nothing. Some prices have increased due to the shortage. 02/20/08
