Link - I understand your frustration. If it
is any consolation to you, doing this last time was (I believe) in part helpful
to encourage Gibson to re-start EDP production -- which had stopped altogether
then -- and which they have continued since that time (1999??).
Speaking for myself, I bought my 1st EDP in 1996
when I heard rumours Oberheim was going out of business. It was worth it
to me because it is/was so unique. Perhaps today you can find other
options.

One point though. Why would I want to give my money
to a company for a product, as good as it may be, that is obviously not
interested in what it is I wish to buy? It's not like I'm buying a bag of
confectionery here, these devices cost good money. Where is the safety in the
purchase IF assistance is needed? Even if they do be so kind as to let me give
them my hard-earned cash (aren't I blessed) it's obvious they are going to
disappear as rapidly as their interest was raised if they do see a list of
potential customers, obligations to warrant/support included.
Call me
being picky here but it' not the kind of contract I generally like to get
involved with based on past experience regardless of the size of company being
dealt with. In fact, I'd rather put the money into the pockets of the people
that actually seem interested in the product if any can be found associated
with it.
Apologies for being such a cynic when parting with ~£700 but
that's about 7 months rent here and it's not going into the wallets of
shareholders of a company that obviously doesn't give a crap about the
products survival. Period!
