Thanks for the recap on the vintage gear. ...good times sadly only a memory now.... just as all that is out and used now will be a mere memory in a few years also.
Enjoy what your playing now as in the blink of an eye it will all be replaced with another!!
its amazing what my 2 keyboards do now, plus my computers and ipad. i told my guitar player in 1969 that what we are doing on stage will be done with a keyboard and a small box . then he said but will it be as entertaining to the audience? would i want those old keyboards? , nope. i remember the hours of set up and tear down , busted back and hands, tech and roady fees. some nice memories but also some bad ones too. life goes on to the next level. uncle daves message to you hit home and became a life changing moment for me. im no longer looking and im making music with what i have. im doing more music playing and less dwelling on equipment. although it doesnt hurt to look every once in a while.
