"at the moment we have still a lot of A-101-2 and
A-101-3 left. I'd expect
they will last at least until end of this year. Then
we will have to decide
if we make a redesign with other vactrols or if we are
able to persuade the
manufacturer to produce the old version once again for
us as custom-made
article.
The main problem is the A-101-1 as our stock will
probably last only until
October, may be November. We wanted to start a new
production series of this
module for October/November orders when we got to know
that the vactrols
used are no longer in production. I fear that there
will be a gap in the
A-101-1 supply as we will not be able to do a redesign
until November (new
pc board design, pc board prototype, assembly and test
of the prototype,
ordering parts for the series production ....).
Samples of the new vactrols
are on the way. As soon as they arrive we will see if
they can be used
without schematics and pcb redesign or if a redesign
will be necessary. Even
if the new vactrols can be used without pcb redesign I
cannot say if the new
vactrols will cause a different sound or control
behaviour of the vactrol
modules. In any case the A-101-9 will be adapted at
once for the new
vactrols."
