Doepfer

They do stock them as used items, which is what I bought. I wish they  
did stock them too though, just because I have dealt with them before  
and their site is a little easier to brows on for me. I probable will  
be buying some new AS modules from them soon for sure - I have my eyes  
on the performance wheels module (a bit pricy though).
