I still have got, for example, a Roland MT-32, not really a good sound
device ;), I don't use it, but I also can't sell it and by the way, the
included pseudo-analog-synth is interesting, even the side noise can be
tolerated, just editing sounds isn't that easy :(.

If possible, nobody should sell, but just buy THOSE instruments, OTOH we
don't have got CV gate anymore, but instead a lot of MIDI jitter for
modern PCs.

FWIW, I'm happy that I bought a DX7 when I was jung, but a Roland JX3P,
OTOH the JX3P isn't that often emulated as a DX7 or any ARP or ...
