I suggested Sebastian contact Oberheim, but wasn't sure if that was a daft
idea or not- don't they offer some sort of support for this unit still?

Then there's always Don....

Or better yet, a quick email to Musiktec (tech?, tek? - not sure).

One of those three I bet would have the answer.  I know a host of Euro bands
that were and are still using them - it's gotta be possible!

A completely off-topic side note - I just ordered a CD from the 21st Century
Schizoid Band, which is all of the orignal King Crimson members, sans Bobby
Fripp and Greggy Lake, another guitarist/singer but with both Ian McDonald
AND Mel Collins and the brothers Giles.  I'll give you a report when it
arrives.  

Time to dust off the hookah.
