VTEK 300 Chess Clock Availability

I am looking for the VTEK 300 chess clock and it seems like they are out-of-stock everywhere. Is the VTEK 300 no longer being manufactured?

Thanks. I thought Chess House, AmChess, and Ebay are all out. 

Thanks Shelby. When will the brushed aluminium be available again?

I personally think that the faux burl wood design is awesome

When DGT finally upgrades their clock's plastic case to metal, use mechanical switches instead of plastic rockers and upgrade the software to include basic chess features such as displaying the number of moves, do not be surprised when retailers worldwide have to price them higher than the VTek300.

I hope they can get the price down to about $125 in the near future. I think that would pick up sales tremendously warranting the lower price. maybe a Black Friday sale?  

EDIT: You would be surprised to know that retailers do NOT expect high-end chess clocks to fly off their shelves. After a tournament organizer buys the equipment, there is no need for any local player to buy one for use in local tournaments. In a group of friends, only half of the players are required to own a clock.

With reliable, plastic, digital chess clocks made by DGT are available in the market for just $20, I do not expect most chess players in the world to pay more than that considering that chess is supposed to be a low-cost offline hobby or for the occasional family game nights.

The clock that you posted doesn't have so much as a delay and cannot be used in 99% of tournament games. It is a horrible, cheap clock. I personally have a VTEK 300.

I own both models of clocks you have, and I also own more.

In my opinion you have the two best clocks available there.

I am one of the designers of the clock.  I have yet to run across this problem before, but with my experiences with the Chronos and other clocks...maybe I can help.

1)  Check to make sure the batteries were put in the correct way.

2)  Open the battery compartment to see if there is any salting/corrosion there.  If there is you will need to use a baking soda solution or Pepsi or Coke to clean the connectors.

3)  Contact the company the sold you the clock and see what their return policy is.

4)  Register the clock on the VTEK website and email them a RMA request to get the clock fixed.  

Thanks

You should be able to look at your receipt from VisualTek and send them that info to get this fixed for you.  You can see the serial number when the clock is on...but your clock does not go on...slight problem.  I am sure that will not be a problem.

thanks

Let me give him a call and see what is going on.

That clearly aren't big on communication, if they are still in business at all. ZMart clocks look good - it might be worth having a look at those.

Sorry, I meant ZMF.
