<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Dear List,<br>
<br>
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:<br>
<br>
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:<br>
<br>
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?<br>
<br>
Any help would be really much appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thank you very much,<br>
Max<br>
<br>
