Relics from bygone days. What do you all do with them? Things that have broke or outlived their usefulness in the ever evolving digital studio.

I have the Tascam cornor. A DA-30mkII and a DA38 live there, both need service that's not worth paying for. I've already repaired the DAT once. It worked for another 9 months then started eating tapes again. In any event, neither machine is really needed anymore with a computer system.

In a closet lives a Fostex A8.(needs work) My first recorder.

I can't see selling any of these. Either no market or the price isn't worth dealing with.

Should I just bite the bullet and dumpster them?
