    It is actually rather stupid and even antisocial to hoard these as a private person. Your synth may never break, but somebody else’s could. Then they wouldn’t be able to get replacement DSPs and you won’t sell them your „precious“, and the world would end up with one TI less.


    Some sort of repair center or synth enthusiast community would be the best place to have them and keep them available for the future.
