Maybe Technics saw it coming and got out and read into the future of arranger KB's? Big changes are here to create, ....and we are still here.. but,once we're gone which is not to far off what will be will be. Enjoy arranger kbs as we know them while they're here, something else will fill it's shoes as always. Nothing lasts for ever. I will always be a fan of Arranger KB's.

Donny, keep in mind that today's younger generation is tomorrow's older generation. For that reason alone, arranger keyboards will still be here long after we have passed.

Technics was bought out by a giant corporation. Arranger sales were insignificant compared to their other electronics lines, and not worth the trouble.
Our division was the most profitable of our Fortune 500 parent. They acquired us as part of another acquisition and just could not figure out how to manage us. Our contribution to their bottom line was practically insignificant. (We did not need management but sold, we were!) Sad day for me because folks at the top always get the axe when a competitor takes over. One of life's great lessons for me.
It would be wonderful if an American Company could acquire Technics and bring them to life again. It was a great line of KBs.
