The 74154 chips run hot.

Bally/Stern also used 74LS154, go with those instead.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing the link. I was struggling to find them outside of Marco @ $6.95 a piece.

XINLUNDA seems to target some of the weird 7400 and 4000 series stuff that has gone obsolete which is nice. I use 74LS93 on the -50 sound board which is a bit of an odd thing and they are like $4ea from Texas Instruments if you can even find them. This same company do that same chip for way cheaper. They print branding on their ESD tubes almost exactly like Harris used to which I found interesting, same orange color and place on the tube.

On a few devices they used non standard labeling, I almost got burned on 4514 until I noticed XD4514 and XL4514 have opposite inverted outputs. I think Texas Instruments called use 4514 and 4515 for the inverted output version. Would have been real annoying to build a bunch of board with the wrong chip.
