From: Doepfer_a100@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Doepfer_a100@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Dieter Doepfer Sent: 01 December 2005 14:43 To: Doepfer_a100@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Doepfer_a100] bad and good news A lot of our suppliers announced significant price increases or have already increased their prices. E.g. the jack sockets are increased by 30%, the rotary potentiometer by 25% and the vactrols by 300% (no typing error, the price is three times compared to the former price). Most of the price increases are caused by the new lead-free/ROHS law (restriction of hazardous substances). The price increases for integrated circuits (provided that the will be continued ...) and other ROHS compatible electronic parts are acceptable (~5% or even less). We will have to re-calculate our prices and I expect price increases in the 5-15% range (depending on the parts used in the module in question). The new prices will be valid from January 1st, 2006. For all orders we receive not later than December 31th, 2005 the old prices are still valid. I'm very sorry about that but we cannot compensate price increases in the ranges mentioned above and I expect that other module manufacturers will follow soon (as you know we all use e.g. the same Cliff 3,5 mm jack sockets). But there are also some good news: We still have many patch cords from earlier production series in stock. As of now (December 1st, 2005) you can get three free cables of your choice together with each A-100 module. The cables are available in the same colors and lengths as the new cables (for details please refer to A-100 accessories) but the plugs are a bit different. Only the green 2 m cables are not available within this campaign as these were not manufactured earlier. The special offer is valid while stocks last.
