"The Maxon AD-9 – at least in this form – will be limited in production 
because it uses the original Panasonic MN3205 BBD and MN3101 Clock 
Driver IC’s that are no longer being produced (these were the same chips 
as used in the vintage Boss, Ibanez, Maxon, and EH designs from the late 
70’s on). According to Maxon, the company also initially looked into 
using the Shanghais Belling chips, but decided they were not suitable 
enough in quality for their requirements for the AD-9 design."

But isn't the Shanghais Belling part number BL3205?
