Echoplexes are in stock at Oberheim/Electar. We are shipping them as we speak to dealers who order them. -----Original Message----- From: Howard Harawitz [mailto:howard@brooknorth.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 14, 1998 6:26 AM To: dcattane@gibson.com Subject: RE: Problem getting Echoplexes Hi, RE: >"Oh they don't make them anymore. We can't get anymore." Stories like that are a real deterrent to ordering the product. A dealer I spoke to -- whom I subsequently learned was the Canadian distributor for Echoplex -- also spoke of unreliable delivery, didn't give me a firm price, wanted a 10% downpayment (never required on any other product I have ordered), and urged patience. I have had either no response, or a negative one, from other dealers that I have written to -- including 8th Street Music, which was mentioned on this list. After trying for over a week, I am still unable to find an Echoplex in stock. Yet Dino Cattaneo, from Gibson, writes: >That information is incorrect. The Echoplex is still made and sold, and >currently in stock. If Musician's Friend places an order with us they >should be able to get one fairly quickly. Or, more colorfully: >That's bullshit. Oberheim has them in stock and is shipping to dealers >regularly. I talked to them about it just the other day. What gives? Why does there seem to be so much confusion about this? Can we place a group buy of Echoplexes at a good price -- either from a dealer or directly from Gibson -- through the list? Should I pick up a Lexicon JamMan that I was offered instead? Buying it would be hassle free and it would certainly cost less. Thanks, Howard At 06:46 PM 10/13/98 -0500, you wrote: >That information is incorrect.
