Actually, not having these in wide distribution is a competive advantage for
me.

But, the main issue is that the chips are designed on a IC process no longer
available,
and EVERY chip must be retooled for modern IC design rules. That's $48K *per
chip*.

AND...I have 4,203 CEM3340 VCO chips. AND being Mr Nice Guy sold 175 to
Doepfer.

Yes, but that's sort of a power hog.
