Hey Art
 
Do you know if Alembic has any red caps laying around the shop?  I've been watching for a F-2B, but I'm pretty sure the missing cap combined with my OCD tendencies would make my head explode.

Mike, I'll need to direct this question to Mica.  I don't know exactly what's around the shop.  My first guess would be that the red caps are not available due to their age - certainly never hurts to ask.  Art

Alembic still had a bunch of red caps when I picked up my F-2B a couple of years ago.  Call Mica.

Cool.  I just sent Tom the $$$ for this unit.  I'm looking forward to playing with it (the F-2B, not my...).  Now I'm on the lookout for a SF-2.  I never have really used my Series I very much.  With the F-2B, I think I'll be more inclined to use it to its full potential.  I hate to bug Mica over the cap, but that really will drive me crazy!!!  Anybody have the shop's phone number???

What years were the Metal Knobbed Blue chassis F-2B units  in production?  
 I have one like that , It is in near mint condition and It's a keeper !
