Thx Tony,- they must have sold a lot �cause they are on vacation... ;-)))) I doubt they have/had CEM3374,- these "beetles" seem to be absolutely unavailable as are the rotarys. I have a lot of hardware synths, romplers, samplers and found almost every part I needed @ chip for brains, Hong Kong, technology transplant or vintage planet (they have a waitlist ...),- but the displays and the rotarys drive me nuts although I never had a blown display or oscillator up to now. But I fear the day it will happen. But the rotarys, - I have 2 pieces as replacements, used ones pulled from another machine, but these behave similar compared to mine at fast movements :-( I�ll try to place a request at Syncom next days ...
