I got my encoder from this here
http://www.ebay.com/itm/AY5-3600-GI-Vintage-LSI-IC-40-Pin-1978-AY53600-/390121009363
on eBay he is asking 19.99 but I offered 12.95 and he accepted. This
chip brought the keyboard back from the dead. Replacing the other
components was not necessary to get it to start responding but I did
it just to preserve the encoder circuit. :)
