I just wanted inform you that the knob manufacturer (ReAn
Sulzer/Switzerland) has stopped the production of the knobs that were used
in the A-100, MAQ16/3 and other products. We tried to buy the productions
tools from ReAn as they are no longer used. But ReAn was not willing to sell
the moulds. We are about to find another manufacturer who is able to produce
a copy of the knob but I'm not sure if the copies will look exactly the
same. I assume that all modules manufactured until end of this year will
still be equipped with the original ReAn version of the knobs. But from
early in 2012 the modules will be delivered little by little with the new
knobs. We will try to get new knobs that look as close as possible to the
old ones but I'm not sure if there may be a small noticeable difference.

Best wishes
