I'm sorry but the parts cannot be ordered from us directly. During the last months our channel of distribution has changed. We stock
only very small quantities here at our location (required for demonstration, workshops, exhibitions and so on). Most of the
manufactured modules are sent directly to our distributors. I'm sure that the A-124SE will be available soon in USA. They are
available since last week and it may take a time until they arrive in USA (or other countries).
And I'm surprised that the prices for our modules have been unchanged in USA during the last year because the exchange rate between
Euro and US$ has lowered from about 1.35 to 1.09 (i.e. about 20%) from August 2014 to August 2015. Indeed we increased the prices in
Euro for the modules by about 5-10% (depending upon the module) because of the higher purchase prices of the electronic parts. But
altogether the resulting prices should have decreased a bit. I'm only the technician and am not dealing with sales but that's a
simple calculation.
