Another one bites the dust..

Seems like Arbiter who were distributing Moog in the UK have gone bust sadly. I presume everyone has lost their jobs..this is really awful news.

For us Moogers it now means that Moog is without distribution in the UK. Can anyone shed any light on what is happening in that regard?

Im sure Moog are making plans as i type but would like to know whats going down!

Sorry to be the bearer of such miserable news..
Seems par for the course at the mo

Damn that really sucks.
Gotta love this economy we’re in.

That about sums it up.

Moog is very pleased to announce the appointment of our new UK distributor, SOURCE.

Haha! Source…the source for Moog.

latigid_on · February 4, 2009, 9:36pm

Ah, but can Source source a Source? Or is the source that Source sourced the Sources now unsourcable?

Johnny_Cradle · February 4, 2009, 9:54pm

that was very resourcefull. what other company replies to customers with such enthusiasm… anyone still asking why we love MOOG.

Voltor07 · February 5, 2009, 12:55am

Moog resourced Source the source for all things Moog, except the Source, as the Source was sourced out years ago. The source for this information was sourced by Source.

<----- Waits for Chuck Norris to appear in the thread.

Crap, I said Id never type that name again on this forum.

Voltor07 · February 5, 2009, 7:16am

The source of Chuck Norris’ source is the source of the Moog Source sourced by Source, the source of Chuck Norris’ Source.

mayidunk · February 5, 2009, 8:04am

(I’m insane now… pleasant dreams! )

Chuck Norris is the source, of course, of course,
He’ll drop kick your a$$ with the force of a horse,
That is, of course, unless you source, a Source for him to play!

Go right to that Source, and bring it to Norris,
Unless you like pain in your a$$, of course,
You don’t believe his will he’ll enforce?

Yada-yada-yada-ya?

Well, listen to this!

He-e-e-e-e is Mr. Norris

(Of course.)

Right…good night, mayidunk.

Thanks for the update - this would explain why I ordered (and paid) for the Voyager OS back on December 20th…and still havent received it.

I also did it during the offer period, so im entitled to the CP251. I bought the Synth through Digital Village (UK) and sent the receipt off to Arbiter to get the CP. Think I need to get on the phone to digital village now…

Hiya all -just thought I’d give some info as to how I got on, after hearing the news that UK distributor Arbiter are in administration. Source (a division of HHB) are honoring all orders & offers. I called them up and they seemed very efficient. They have estimated 4-6 weeks delivery for stock, including those like me who bought their Moog Product before Xmas to qualify for the CP-251 offer. Might be an idea to call them up and check your name’s on the list! Tel:020 8962 5080

hope that helps y’all

We got the same thing going on.
Orderd and paid 2 Phatties at DV on december 30th, including the bonus CP’s.

Moog told us that we don’t have to worry and a bunch will ship as we speak.

bambamstudio · February 23, 2009, 8:43am

Chris do you have any news? we are waiting 8 weeks…no moogs shipped yet

EricK · February 23, 2009, 2:08pm

THey haven’t built them yet.

ronegen · February 26, 2009, 9:57pm

Hmmm, how do you know?
Source told us that they have left the fabric two weeks ago for shipment to the UK.
