They are genuine Philips TDA1541A/S2 from Netherlands, I am quite sure. Definitely not rebranded nor fake.

I will try to get one from him to check the date code and post the photo.

This guy has these devils for years. Philips original tubed pakage, more than two tubes that I saw few years ago when these chips were still available in the market. It means that these chips are brand new and not pulled out things. Few days ago, I talked with him and I said he would never use that many in his entire life. He said, OK if I need, he will offer me around EURO 100. I will talk with him again to check out if he really wants to release some.
 
Ok guys, BAD news¡K

I visit my friend today. He took the TDA1541 chip to me. A so-called ¡§ultimate TDA1541¡¨ slipped out the tube package. Guess what, I saw a TDA1541 which looked weird to me. I didn¡¦t take camera with me, so I can¡¦t post pic here. But if I keep my memory correct, this chip date coded 8814 and does have double crown prints on the right side. The weird thing is that in the upper right corner, it printed S1 not S2. All prints looked original but why??? I don¡¦t think it worth that much, EURO 100, so I quit¡K

Question is:
This guy, I know him more than 10 years. As a friend of mine, I know he is honest. He said tat he imported these chips from an authorized dealer of Philips located in Netherlands 1995. That¡¦s why I was so sure that these chips are genuine Philips¡¦.

If it is Philips¡¦ genuine TDA1541A why does it printed as S1 and double crown. I never heard there is a version like this. Does any one know about this?

I think I will take my camera with me to take a pic and post here....
 
I believe the chips should look like this;)

So we can manage to please even Jean Paul!!!

Now Tubeee, how about some true pics from the two crowned S1???

Yes, we are waiting:magnify: :radar:

Or maybe you may want to consider sending one piece to Peter Daniel or Jean Paul for them to test and let us know about their opinion on this wiered chip?

:bullseye: :yinyang: :dice: :hypno2:
