where do these rumours get started?

elektron does not own a fab.  they are not manufacturing SID chips.
they merely collected a large amount of new old stock 6581R4s before
going into production with the sidstation.

see http://www.sidstation.com/sidstory_6581.php for the number of SID
chips elektron has left.
