Yes,I know you're right :-) I have alot of old Roland gear 
(TB303,TR606,TR707,TR808,TR909,JUNO2,JUNO60,JUPITER8 etcetc) so I admit I 
love them.And last year I brought them all in to get them overhauled by 
Roland and they did a fine job!
But what I meant is that they should keep on trying to get their old 
machines fixed,sure that way they can keep their technicians at work ;-)
Groundbreaking would be that they would release a REAL analague machine 
instead of the rubbish groove-box thingies :-) Imagine a new 32osc analogue 
monster called the Jupiter16!!!
:-)
