I had to go to Empeg on Tuesday this week to have my Mk.2 looked at. It turns out the 'supercap' which runs the clock on power-off had died.
Anyway, Hugo told me that the tuners were delayed again because they are unable to get hold of the aerial socket. Apparently, their supplier suddenly turned around last week and informed them they were out of stock.
Believe me, Hugo and the guys at Empeg are well frustrated at this new delay. The tuner seems to have been beset by supply problems from day one, but the wait WILL be over soon. Please remain patient, as this latest delay really is beyond the control of anyone at Empeg/Rio.
To be on the safe side, I would guess that the tuner will start becoming available in August, but it may be sooner. Whatever happens, it will be out there as soon as is humanly possible.
I guess Hugo or Rob might be able to give us a better update once they have news from their supplier.
Andy.
