That is a very good point indeed. I have a hardware synth in regular use, bought

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
Before I got all messed up in the software world,
I was all messed up
in electronics so I fix my own synths etc. IMHO A vintage synth
requires time like a vintage car does, with the 80's being
particularly an era of cheap and cheesy electronics as I remember
it. The Polysix resembles that remark. Most of them still around have
been at least re-capped (new capacitors).
Lack of parts is a real concern in my experience. As mentioned about
the Curtis chips, its been out of stock for decades and ebay is full
of scams for such things.
The Polysix emulator dies with its host. Something like an iPad 2 is
less longlived than a hardware synth.
