Thanks for the update JD.
The component delivery woes remind me of when I was trying to get an SP12m monitor rig in one of my clubs. The dealer kept telling me that Peavey was waiting on parts, after a few months I had to cancel the order and go with something else.

I can't speak to your previous situation, but I can say with pretty good certainty that the component sourcing problems Peavey is having aren't limited to Peavey. We live in an era of thin channels where having inventory sitting around in warehouses equates to lost money, so when demand goes down, supplies stack up, and new production stops. When the demand recovers, The remaining inventories empty faster than the manufacturers can scale up production again.
I'm waiting for a non-audio product from another vendor who is experiencing the same problems. He can get a couple dozen parts no problem, but getting the ten thousand he needs is turning out to be pretty tough right now.
