<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>Dear List,<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>this is my first post and I'd quickly like to introduce myself: My name is Max and I run E-RM here in Berlin, Germany. We are a 5 person boutique manufacturer for music electronics. I have been reading here for almost 6 years now, but I have to leave silence at this point with a request for help:<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>We kind of got all right through the global part shortage, but now it recently struck us for our polygogo module - we can't source WM8731SEDS anywhere for our next production runs before next year. I know that this part is used in a few other modules, for example Mutable Instruments, so I'd like to the chance and ask:<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>Is here anyone on this list who has some stock and would be willing to sell any? Or has any advice for trustworthy brokers? Or... any other tips?<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>Any help would be really much appreciated.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>Thank you very much,<o:p></o:p></pre>
