Don I have seen the same amazing thing eproms with a pin folded over that touched the auget socket and worked for years or maybe not and thats why I ended up with the 5370. But bottom line is I grab 5370s when I see them if they are the right price. Have 4, all working now, most with the xtal oscillator. I won't say what the prices were but fractions of whats been mentioned here. (None worked when I picked them up) They were dirty and generally reasonable issues to solve. Indeed the internal external switch was exactly one of the issues. Then soap and water with elbow grease and they look like new and work well. Regards Paul.
