You should contact Oberheim directly and ask them for an appropriate
dealer. I'm quite certain there is one in Holland, but have no idea who it
is. Oberheim's address/phone:

Oberheim Synthesizers
732 Kevin Court
Oakland, CA 94633
USA
510-635-9633

I think street price in the US is typically around $550 for the basic 12.5
second unit. The memory required for expanding the loop time is the
ordinary SIMMs for computers. Upgrading to 200 seconds generally costs
$60-$100 for the simms and is easy to do yourself. The footpedal price
varies dramatically (between $100 and nothing) depending on whether the
dealer is using it as a tool to entice you to buy or make himself a little
extra profit.

hope this helps!
