[AH] CEM3340, Doepfer - the final consequence

[francois-buat at infonie.fr]

It is clear that Herr Doepfer doesn't want to create new VCO.

Keep in our minds, buying "actual" A100, this means the components
are used and there is not any garantee period even if you buy a new stuff.

We can keep secret the location of the CEM 3340 actual stock.
