Thank you for the clarification Grant. It was mentioned on the list 
before that the boogie filters limited availability was about parts. 
Are there any parts in your other modules that are becoming scarce that 
we should stock up on if we find them ? Back when I had a Prophet 10 
and Prophet 5 I bought a couple of Wine Country Survival kits in fear 
that one day the synths would be unfixable.

Thanks

Rob
