It seems we have the weekend off, unless the mighty Cricklewood can somehow manage to get those to you tomorrow.

When they do turn up we'll still continue with the same one-IC at-a-time approach, but at least the replace-and-try cycle will be a little bit shorter if you already have the other ICs poised and ready. In fact having them handy may be the best way of ensuring that you won't ever need them (...a variation of Sod's Law).

Of course you should replace UH6 first thing, since we are fairly sure that one is dud.
