Absolutely not.
Look on Ebay for a vendor named ChipsForBrains- he was selling CEM's last year

Hi everyone
Only was 'lurking' in this group so far. I have fulfilled an old dream and bought an Xpander some months ago and all was fine. Until one voice died. I checked the chips by trial & error and found the one causing it (it makes that voice it is put onto fail the tuning and not sound at all).
By then I did not know yet that the 3374 is so rare...I could not find any and I wrote to many 'vintage repair shops' and scanned ebay, posted in forums etc.
So if anyone has a trusty source that would give me back my 6th voice I'd be highly grateful. For the moment I switched the voice off of course.
To be honest, I also ask myself what actually does 'fail' in such a chip? Is it a physical 'burning' through or just a contact that is lost? No way of trying to repair the chip itself?
Many thanks for any help.
Kind Regards
