If you could put any vintage gear back in production, what would you choose? For me Jupiter 8 maybe..
Sequential Prophet 5 & octave cat II
The Crumar Bit One and the Siel Mono.
Just wishing for cool machines to reappear is of no use unless you consider the price.
Are we talking at it's original price? I'd love to get the Gnat back at 99 pounds. I'll love to get a batch then...
Also, a Synton Syrinx could be cool and affordable.
I don't know what the original price of the Hammond Novachord was, but please... get me a factory new one! :D
Polymoog. And all the old Roland and Korg analogs. And a CS80.
Seeing that there will always be the doubters who refuse to accept that anything re-issued in the present day could be as good, I'll go out on a limb and submit one that would never ever be made again: The late 60's Moog Modulars. They were each built by hand and cost more than a house of that time. Nothing sounds like them, and never will again.
I'd also like to add that if there were enough people willing to pay ridiculous amounts of money, and certain factories were allowed to ignore the RoHS policies, while at the same time using lower quality parts standards than today,(in terms of precision and tolerance, while build quality was equal or better) then more of them would actually be faithfully re-issued, and probably with better control features. Why doesn't a Prophet 8 sound like a Prophet 5? Different design, different component standards, (much!)lower cost-to-manufacture price point.(when adjusted for inflation)
