Thanks Bill. I've done some searching under that and TA6889... nothing so far. I may take a suggestion given to me to just figure something out with an 1802 for now. I would imagine even if I could find the pair of 1801s they'd probably be pricey.
The ebay vendor I'm getting this microtutor from is a consignment shop.. I asked them if they wouldn't mind asking the vendor to check around for the missing board. Unlikely to bear fruit but you never know!

The 1801 cpu chips' original silkscreen names were not "1801" Just before the Tutor RCA sold the COSMAC Microkit and it had the earlier version of the 1801 chip set: http://www.vintagecomputer.net/browse_thread.cfm?id=511 Another place to check is auto computers and embedded stuff ... Some if the very earlist auto computers had 1802s for sure, maybe some had 1801s. Dual cpu chip 1801s were not prototypes, they were sold for a good year before being replaced by the single cpu 1802.
