I believe the Triple Router was discontinued between 1979 and 1982.

It is always possible that Serge or Rex could build "special order" versions
of it on request, after it was discontinued. I believe that has happened
with other modules.

FYI, I had dinner with composer Warren Burt a few months ago, and he said
the triple router and analog shift register were his proposals to Serge when
they worked together in the mid-late 1970s.
