Yes, the MF 104 is out of production, the needed chips have been available for just 1000 analog delays,
and now they are divided all over the world :-)
But I think, an original analog delay is not the only way to survive, the Line6 Delay is a good choice imitating
a few models in sound and quality.
I don't own one, but was I've done with it by testing sounded very original in sight of the analog delays.
Also very interesting is the sound, the quality and the flexibility of the TC Electronics D-Two, which works very fine
synchronized to midi-clock with also synchronized analog sequencers.
all the best
