He does have current A'Gon ads, so perhaps you could try contacting him to see if the unit/model is still in stock. I doubt that it is, considering that it has not been listed for sale for ages.

Probably something wrong on my end as I had the same thing happen in July/August of 2011 and just gave up/let it slide @ that point. Since then I purchased the V-LPS on closeout ($99 shipped) and am no longer interested in the unit as the Foreplay/V-LPS combo in my setup preforms well enough.
