NOT good News from InMusic (Europe)

[parametric]

A couple of Days ago, I chased my order for parts, which I had placed back in February . . . . .

One CF card slot
One RH end panel for the 6HD
One PSU for 8/6HD

The CF card was not in stock but would be obtained and sent in due course

I was told that the PSU WAS available and would be posted out immediately - and indeed FOC

(As I had been waiting so long)    True to their word - It arrived today

The RH end panel however was not available - and had been discontinued  and NOT expected

to re-appear . . . .

I talked to the Tech for a while about the situation - and ventured that InMusic was going

to be imminently discontinuing support for the Fusion? This was more or less admitted

I inquired if InMusic might announce this publicly? - It was thought NOT . . . .

Reasons muted were the fact that the number of Brands that InMusic deal with had caused

a shortage of storage for spares and that quantities of Fusion Spares had already been

disposed of to make room for "Other Products".

Another reason was that Manufacturers in China had declined to re-manufacture parts due

to the age of the Fusion and the time it has been "Legacy" . . . .

I KNOW NOT - if this stance will be the Same from InMusic USA? . . . . . Sadly, I suspect so . . . . .

InstrumentalParts (USA) also carry Fusion spares. I have yet to check their position on this,

or indeed if the Brexit-caused export/shipping limitation to the UK has been sorted out - and

indeed if that now MATTERS - given the above situation . . . .

I shall attempt to find out from IP WHAT the situation is . . .

NONE OF THIS bodes well for Fusion Users. When these Boards Die . . . . THAT will be IT.
