Anybody actually open for ordering parts?

You have to understand the forum is littered with kids , who want everyone else to do the homework they should be doing themselves. Lots of already answered questions, lots of stuff that is in the archive and faq section. It happens so much that when a post like yours comes up peoples first reaction is well damn didn't you know.

Because of that senior forum members can get annoyed, when someone comes in asking a very basic question.
Most of us have dealt with or even know some of the people at the companies you mentioned, so we sometimes take this kind of stuff for granted. Especially around the time of SEMA.
Or in the case of the companies mentioned they are not as large as people would think. Though if they are still around then they are good.
(last statement made because in the current economy a lot of companies have gone under)

Its like lots of people being out of the smaller audio companies offices for NAMM or AES( which I wound up skipping this year).
You see the same kind of thing with the boutique Analog Synthesizer companies. etc....

It just so happens that Garage Autohero, where many a drift car is built, happens to be across the street from Mackie's corporate headquarters...it is quite convenient. And Mackie is just one of our many brands...

Likely many would expect that a guy who has white sideburns like a doctor on TV and wears suits everyday would be driving a new leased BMW. Well, I would rather drive a street legal race car. I never grew out of it. That's why I bought a 240sx setup for autocrossing, and before I had it a week I was already installing a bigger turbo on it. Heads and cams will be next...and that's probably just the start.

And regarding our industry, AES is populated by geeks mostly (no offence to the geek community intended). I think the boutique analog stuff out there is generally pretty cool, especially in their industrial design. It's been 2 years I think since my last AES show (New York). And I am scheduled to be at NAMM in January...

Again, my gratitude to anyone who offers me assistance.
