Sony C800G Discontinued?! Anyone Selling?

Hi all,

first post here!
I really wanted to get the C800G but i`ve heard it`s been discontinued!!
Why sony would do that? I think something to do with the tubes..

Anyway i can get a used one as well. Anyone is selling?

I`m kinda worried though! If i gonna have to replace something(like the tubes or the capsule)sony wont do it?

I doubt it being that it's made to order, but hey who knows.

Well i thought was kinda strange.. Still, 3 dealers(here in tokyo) couldn`t make the order because sony told them that the C800G was discontinued!!

I should get it in the US maybe? Anyone knows any special deal, like demo unit or used ones?

Ah and by the way, what the difference between 800G and 800Gpack?

Here are the Sony wired mics:

The "PAC" is how the C800G is sold -- includes the power supply.

Very Weird.. I spoke at the phone w/ $ony today.. Looks like the C800 G is no longer available, at least here in Japan!!! They sayd that they will support the mic for 10 more years though!
Every single store i`ve been so far, told me that the C800 G was discontinued.

Doesn`t matter.. I`m gonna find it in the US?

What is a fair US price(both new and used) for a C800 G Pack?
