Radio Shack doesn't have anything but some stupid **** lol. I will
just wait until it comes in the mail I guess I did discover last
night that it uses both sides of each Op Amp so I can't do what I was
talking about. I thought it odd that it would only use 1/2 so mystery
solved. I need a 4158 or equivelent. I called all the TV Repair shops
nearby but turned up nothing Guess online is my only recourse.
That's kind of a shame.

Thanks guys, I ordered the MC1458P from Mouser. I should be all set in
a few days when it arrives. I did notice something cool however.

I'm half tempted to try this because I'm anxious to see it work again
and know that I got everything. I'd hate to still have more bad parts
that I have not yet found.

The Op Amp is a DUAL chip. In the schematic it's clearly using the 2nd
amp and the first side seems to be just sitting there. I bet I could
re-wire my current chip to work if I just utilize pins 1, 2, 3 instead
of the 5,6,7 that it is using now.

I'm very tempted to try this. I will still need to use pins 4 and 8
for the Vcc + / - , but as long as those 2 pins are ok, my idea seems
sound that I could just use the other side of the chip *lol*

Your comments are most appreciated

I would not substitute other IC types,you can use a generic 1458,dunno
if RS has them.As another has posted,the 1458 is still available,and
inexpensive.

Why bother? Go to Radio Shack,see if they have one,or an ECG equivalent
from a local distributor.

Don't call TV repair shops,call the local *electronics parts distributor*.
Chances are they sell ECG parts,and there's an ECG version of the 1458.

A TV repair shop isn't going to want to sell you parts.
