wanting to ask if any body has scene any pics

Basically you want to get a chip (i) with the L1 bridges not cut (although you can rejoin them easily if they are not intact) and (ii) without any of the required pins on the bottom of the chip removed by the manufacturer. It is the removal of certain pins that makes the multiplier not adjustable, since you can easily rejoin the bridges.

I'll try to find a picture of the pins involved.
