Rubberduck + drumstation are free too.

I had some fun back in the day with Rubberduck....even more so when I found the software of the same name

can't quite bring myself to sell it... but also can't quite justify spending money to give it the TLC it needs.

I second that- most of us only keep them now for sentimental reasons. There was a guy here is Australia named Robin Whittle who used to restore them, and last I heard he had ran out of pots/ buttons ages ago. (He's the guy who does the Devilfish mod that hardfloor swear by)
I say keep it out of sunlight, only touch it with cotton gloves, and... now buy a 909 to sit next to it in your trophy case

I love the AU bassline. I've had three 303s, including one Devilfish, and the Bassline sounds awesome. If I had my preference, I would not go back to the silver box. They were fun while I had them, but I like Bassline a lot better because I can program it via Midi, it's a lot easier to have more complex patterns and changes throughout a track, and I can have as many 303s as my CPU can handle.

I liked the Devilfish, but found it too be a little too wacked out at times. At the end of the day, I love the classic 303 sound.

If there is any truth to the legend of it, than Roland was using MIDI on the tb-303 during the prototype stages instead of voltage sync. I sketched the circuits and found them all available at circuit places, the cost of them all being less the $50.

You can see more and hear a track I made with the box at this link:

Hey, a good tale is better then a boring truth... Unless my eyes betray me I think those pots might heavily influence the price of that one too...
