Thats not complete correct. EMS is run in UK by Robin Wood since a 
couple of years but he is slow at responding and waiting lists are high, 
more than a year from what I heard on the Analogue Heaven List. Rehberg 
run the german branch since decades and also is still in business. I 
don't know if they got some stuff in stock but maybe they act faster.

Be careful with modifications, while some are good, providing additional 
features like sync, others are evil. There is a mod those name I forgot, 
stabilizing oscillators or the patch matrix or so, which take the 
wiredness of the ems out of it and turns it more into a normal synth. 
The key feature why we all would like to have one (and Wendy Carlos 
hates them) is that these machines tends to drift and the matrix got 
some crosstalks so it seems to be alive and raging. You can switch it on 
and leave it twirping for days without repeatition.

Cheers,

Malte
