I was also a Ketron dealer....Only Ketron dealer in my area..
Lou was the distributor in New York.
Selling price was a issue, and they did not want the product line discounted heavily....
In fact George Kaye and I had a small issue on X1 pricing on SZ...If I recall George had Lou call me to assure there would be no undercut of prices..
The distributor has all the control...they set the prices, allocation and have a big say about policy....or you won't see product..
