DTMF chips from phones for remote control.

I recently read a document on using the DTMF (Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency) chip from old cordless phones to make an eight to twelve channel remote control and I thought this sounded really cool, but I am not very good at removing ICs from PCBs, so I was wondering if anyone knew a better way to get them for almost no money?

where did you find that document, i would very much like to read it.
and removing stuff from PCB's can easily be done with a heat blow gun.

Those hot air guns are expensive (although I admit to having one), and it would probably be much easier and cheaper to just order the IC's you are looking for . . .
You could also physically cut the IC off the board (taking some of the board with it), and then solder to the leads.

Polarbear6, I cannot recall where I found the document, but I will have another look for you.
Admin, thanks for the cutting idea, I had not ever thought of that!
