I refurbish/repair DX7's as a hobby, and it is always surprising to me how much life there is still left in that synth. There is a whole eco-system around them and lots of people still want the actual thing to play on. They're also built like tanks which is one reason they are still so much in use today.

Also a ridiculous number were made, so there's a lot of them out there, despite Trent Reznor destroying many of them on stage!

Just curious, since you mentioned this: where do you get your up-stop felt?
