Xpantastic!

IIRC, I read somewhere that some company wanted a minimum order of
20.000 chips 
to start making them again...
 
There´s a lot of great analog synths out there getting older...
 
Should we start a poll for how many chips we could consider buying?

AFAIK, Dave Smith is using CEM filters only and these are available.
In addition he has NOS chips in stock from the past.
It also can be, there are the chips he needs in production for his
company, - depends on count of pieces in the end.
The schematics and tech specs for nearly all CEM chips are available in
the web.

	I think I know why Curtis chips have his rep. There is a reveiw
of the 
	M12/expander on a large retailers site. It trys hard to convince
you 
	that buying an old synth is a bad Idea, and what you should do
is buy 
	one of their new digital wiz-bangs. Yha Whatever man!
	Sadly, Doug Curtis has passed away so I don't think there will
be 
	anymore of these chips available. I keep wondering how Dave
Smith is 
	dealing with this. Anybody Know?
