I think you could be wrong simply cause there is demand for spare parts etc and cause it is a know and simple technology to manufacture old parts. It requires no research, no nothing and rather than throwing a nice vintage like an SH101, Jupiter 8, Matrix and so on people is likely to pay rather high prices. I myself could consider paying 50 or so bucks for a spare cpu for my sh101... The demand is there, the supply should follow, right? So I think you are wrong on the 1k - 10k part. It is like spares for vintage cars, expensiver than for new ones. Wonder when some small specialist will pick up... ----- Original Message ----- From: "ethanzer0" <ethanzer0@yahoo.com> To: <Doepfer_a100@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday, June 10, 2002 8:14 PM Subject: [Doepfer_a100] Re: Poll results for Doepfer_a100 > --- In Doepfer_a100@y..., "Andreas Lindholm" > <andreas.k.lindholm@t...> wrote: > > No, I don't think so, but couldn't they be made again.
