Apparently, they had to stop selling them in US due to a patent infringement. That patent has now expired.
I'm told the ban only applied to the US anyway, so here in the UK I could have bought one of these any time. Don't know if that's actually true or not.
Wilkinson have a reverb page and you can definitely buy a convversion kit for the vs100n on there. Here it is: https://reverb.com/item/35360438-wil...ion-kit-chrome

Not sure how the currency exchange is working... it is expensive, but the total cost for this and a whole vs100 is not much different to the price of that new wilkinson/gotoh with the string locks on the saddles.
I'm building another warmoth soon and think of non-floyd tremolo. This looks appealing because of the stability.
