Not mine, not affiliated, probably not exactly cheap, definitely not common.

No other electronics, untested, and I thought these were still being made. Am I just getting old or...

They are available as replacement parts, but we prefer to install them here and complete a calibration otherwise it's a likely possibility to have directional or high frequency noise. Call me crazy - I don't like selling parts to people that may not solve their problem. Bad capitalist.

Bad capitalist.

I'm sure you know this, but this is extremely appreciated by people who pay attention. After 50 years you provide support for all your instruments. There is zero talk among musicians about "better" or "worse" years. Cheaper models are known to only differ in features, not in quality. A "good" capitalist would have ran your shop and your name into the ground by late 80s, all for a fancier car or a boat. Ironically but predictably, "good capitalists" are not competitive in the long run, at least when it comes to high-end instruments. Thanks for keeping them out!
