<jsd> yes it should, mine wasn't and I added that later, like within the 
week..

<jsd> ahh yes, capitalism, isn't it wonderful?

<jsd>It took me almost 1/2 a year to get mine about 3 or 4 years ago, 
prepaid

<jsd>Mine cost $900 with a break__ the pedal was the above price you 
stated__I
don't think you will ever see it at that price you would like, hopefully 
you will
see them again though. Now, IF it is at that price, some corners will have 
to be
cut, that's for sure..

<jsd> yes you should...it all goes back to supply and demand..most times 
when
something is discontinued, it is because there is not enough of a demand 
to warrant
keeping it in line, I had found out about Gibson doing away with Oberheim 
about 1
year or so ago from someone that I know who works there...Sorry about the 
delayed
message, But I just found you guys..I'm slloowww.
