Soundtraxx DSD B280LC drop in decoder with built in speaker

I've seen this decoder that is supposed to be a plug n play sound decoder for a Bachmann Spectrum Consolidation, but I cant find any for sale?? Is this discontinued? If so, is there a new drop in for the Consolidation?

 I have 2 of them. They had been discontinued and replaced by the Tsunamis. Every once in awhile one would pop up at train shows in dealers old stock. They still go for a premium price. The 280 does not do DC at all and will be harmed by it. They especially do not like it if someone one runs an analog loco on 00 if your DCC system allows it.

Thanks for the info guys, too bad..looked like a pretty slick unit. Just plug it in and your ready to go- had the speaker built in. O well.
