Well, I have my rep a beat down wanting a straight answer on this. I should be use to feeling stupid by now, but after all the hoopla about trying to get one of these, it seems that she was lazy and didn't really check it out. I pushed and she thoroughly checked it out. Here is her answer.... THIS IS FROM PANASONIC:
The product guy at HQ says we are constrained which sounds to me like we're not making very many or we're getting very little inventory in each month but they are still "current" products. A co-worker says she sold our inventory to Guitar Center since they do a lot of turntable business with us. She says we are out. So, we can order one and see if we can get it for you but you may end up canceling if you wait too long. I'm sorry there aren't more clear details. Inventory is very limited and in very high demand,but I'm not sure we are actually still producing the product.
There you go, Clear as Mud.
I'll try to refrain from posting without all the facts.
