The train has left the station. Vintage hardware synths are not the investment they once were. Future generations will not care about your old synth, nor will they pay up for it. Your family will sell your gear for cheap when you're gone.
Sell it all. Today.

This little rant is my reply to all those saying that vintage synths are an investment. They're not. Not if you buy them today. They might have been if you bought them for cheap in the mid 90s and you're selling now. If you sold them a couple of years ago, even better.

In 25-30 years when the people my age has gone the way of the Dodo, no one will be interested in these any more. We love them, and use them, because they were the objects of desire back in the day. We have nostalgia attached to those synths. Kids today do not. It's like collecting stamps. No one cares about stamps any more either.

I've not even touched upon service and maintenance costs.
