And as far as I know, I won't be heading to Hong Kong soon. I do know Oberheim's address and phone# though: Oberheim Synthesizers 732 Kevin Court Oakland, CA 94633 USA 510-635-9633 I'm doubt that there are any Oberheim/echoplex dealers in Hong Kong, but you could ask them. Or you can try a US dealer, they might ship overseas.
