I think Dave dave (synthchips) sold all his stock a while back.
Senso is still around.
I have a couple of CEM 3374, 3372 and spare dacs, so touch would should be ok! The Xpander is not a synth i worry about.. my cs80 is a frigging nightmare!

Switching on and off has been noticed causing many of the break outs of electronic components. I don't know exactly, but It may be the voltage and current spikes that happen then, which break the components. You can hear this from your loadspeakers. For this reason some studios keep their equipment on day and night. But, I think that in case of Xpander this might not be a good idea, because of the displays. Luckily there is now a replacement available as told above, but if I were you, I would absolutely not trade the display unless I had a couple of spare displays. CEM3374 is also very difficult to find component, but not nearly as much as the display. For these reasons some people like myself have even bought xtra xpanders for spare parts. Very good sources for all synth components are especially the following:
Is anybody aware, why the latter is not working currently? I also tried to reach Dave there by email without success. Is he alright? Tiitu
