Not a bad deal for $25!
All the chips were mint condition and have never been socketed except for the AMD RAM chips.
The pins on them are black from the rotten foam they were in.
I'm going to "experiment" on the AMD chips and soak them in some
different solvents to see what works best for getting the old foam off. |

Try "OOPS!" latex paint remover - the foam will dissolve right off. You shouldn't use anything water-based on integrated circuit pins.
