Any larger electronics store should have almost all of the chips.
However if you're currently have a problem, the most common problem in
the
II+ is loss of contact between the chip legs and the socket. This can be
solved
by using a small screwdriver or chip puller to lift the chip up a bit in
the
socket and then push it back down. This scrapes some oxidation off the
legs
and restores contact. However it is a pretty tedious chore. The II+
should
of course be turned off while doing this.
