Elektron Musical Instruments

You'd probably get the same problems.  This is all about the delivery 
services wanting money for their cargo.  You'd have to deliver bulk 
and do alot of paper work with the government to get special 
tax/business incentives.  Remember Elektron is still small.  They had 
enough trouble getting the Monomachine out to be worried about 
setting up distributors.  Not many companies can say how many units 
they have to sell.  

Then you'd have to train these guys to repair the thing.  It'd be 
nice if they can teach us to repair them for each case/situation.  I 
know the electronics could be impossible for most of us, but some of 
the more hardware related problems...  It'd be nice to have the tool 
that could open the MD.  Wouldn't it have been more nice if they 
could have sent the new knobs (were they the potentometers that 
needed replacement?) and.... well...nevermind.
