I think it had to do with the fact that some of the
electrical components that were in the original EH 16s Delay are no longer
available. There may be comparable components on the market today, but from what
I understand, it would make a re-issue very expensive and most likely, not
worthwhile re-issuing based on how many units could be sold. I think it's more
economics of making the re-issue available than anything else
...
From what I understand, if certain components fail
in the vintage EH 16s Delay, they are not even serviceable ...
Now this is just my knowledge based on what I read
in the newgroups (from reasonably respectable sources) ... I think it was Kim
that mentioned what the components were and why they were so difficult to
source, is even at all ...
To me, it's like someone asking IBM to start
manufacturing PC XT again with them trying to source 8088 processors and 256K
memory chips to put into them ...
