It's the first time I heard about this VIC-42. Searching for it on
ebay found one item from this seller:
https://www.ebay.it/usr/componentcentraloregon

Markings don't look too fake-ish (I've dealt with fakes often) and
yes, any alcohol is useless to remove fake
IC paints, I use paint remover products or acetone.
Having said that, it would be the first time that MOS marked some IC
as VIC-xx, the usual part numbers that we all
know about are 65-- 75-- 85-- or xxxxxx-yy (mostly on roms/plds).
Someone should decap one :)
