Hi
 There is a fellow that is working on making a replacement
board for the 6530. These are intended to replace the 6530's
on Gottlieb pinball audio boards. As I understand, it would
use a 6532, EPROM and a little glue logic. One does need
a copy of the original data from the ROM on the 6530. I
realize this doesn't meet the purest idea of restoring
but unless someone finds a stock of these in some warehouse
and recognizes there value, it may be the only way to
bring these KIM's back to life.
