Well I attempted a sacrifice, but no luck.
There's a 1" square (approx) metal shield there around the chip.
Peelable label on the top simply labeled E top right corner, 7 bottom left
corner, A somewhere near lower right middle, and 018543 in the center at
bottom. Lots of evenly spaced dots ... hang on I might as well copy the
whole thing... monospace font ON...

strange :)

Under that label is handwritten... 10/25 -9 KL60 S18543
The board itself is marked Hitachi.
I can't get to the bubble memory chip because it has a metal shield
spot-welded around it. Wrapped around 4 of the 6 sides, so to speak. I've
tried removing this sort of thing before - nigh impossible without a chisel,
and I'm not about to do that.
Chip has 12 pins/side, for a total of 24, if that helps.
