Your memory serves well…I think they removed it to save on costs…And perhaps it's patented as well?

I asked about that once some time ago and was told by someone that in Europe where *at that time* they sold most of their products, the 11 pin was not as wanted as in the US so it was dropped. With a lot of products now going into the US now, one wonders if the 11 pin will be re-introduced. ???

For a higher budget buyer, an intriguing thought occurred to me with the EXP rack, what Steve could do with this at SE.
