Ive seen their ads for a couple years now (they mail them to me regularly).  I
haven't ordered from them but given their location (in California and no too
terribly far from Los Angels area) I would'nt doubt that they do have the
supply of stuff and the prices are reasonable for the coast.

My goodness, they do have a good batch of VIC-20 stuff!  :)  Also some nice
Commodore 64 goodies.

8520s are used widely in the Amiga line of computers (2 in each machine) and
are prone to die in them, your local Amiga sources should be able to supply
you with 8520 chips.
