Try to be fair: I bought my 2290 in 1985, so I do not think that any other
digital equipment has been manufactured during such a long time (exept
maybe the PCM70). Its because of the extremly high quality.

Thats what I was gona say. Probably cheaper even. Just do it!

For the memory you must know that tc depends on chips that are not
manufactured any more for many years.
They would have to make a new board with bigger chips for the old thing...

As far as I remember they had a bigger memory (32sec?) that might still be
available because its built with bigger chips (maybe 256kBx1?!).
