I recall that empeg have private investors, and don't forget the oem work for [insert name of oem companies]...

I fully believe that the parts are difficult to get hold of, because there aren't any available, not that empeg couldn't afford them... (Look at 3dfx and ATI for other examples of component shortages)

Remember, the empeg car is the only _visible_ product, not the only product...
