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...
