According to the big kahuna at the Oberheim division (who is now the big kahuna for the electar division too) any gibson dealer can order one, from their gibson rep or the inside sales line at gibson. echoplexes are being shipped without any trouble, and have been for a long time. Maybe these guys are confused by recent division shuffling at Gibson? although other dealers don't seem to have that problem. go somewhere else. according to gibson, its actually much easier to get echoplexes now than it used to be. You used to have to find an actual Oberheim dealer, since they had oberheim's dealer network separate from the rest of gibson's for some reason. There weren't very many OB dealers, so that wasn't so great. Now they have all the dealers combined, so any gibson dealer can get echoplices. I think they did kill off all the other Oberheim products, with the echoplex actually now being handled by the "electar" division (which also includes trace elliot and maestro, I think). But from the outside it looks the same, you can still call Oberheim and get an OB guy on the phone. In fact, call them to find a good dealer: 877-OBERHEIM (877-623-7434) or obie@gibson.com. they're quite helpful. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
