Hi Starkeeper
Technics didn't go bankrupt. The parent company decided to close the music division down ( for whatever reason) fortunately Panasonic appears to be live & well.
Good news as spare parts will be available for some years yet and there's still support around for some time to come.

Makes you wonder what's going on with top line arrangers though. I would say my Va7's been around now for a good 3 years or so.

Bit of a worrying trend.

best wishes
Rikki
