I bought my (busted) Pro-One from a guy in a pub 20 years ago. It cost me
£50, say $100. I doubt I'd ever get rid of it. The sound beats pretty much
everything except possibly a Mini.

Stage 1 - see if you can source some CEM chips. If so, proceed to stage 2.
If not, stick the shell back on eBay. You might find someone willing to take
it off your hands. Or stick it in a dumpster.

Stage 2 - I'd hack the cruddy plastic case and convert it to a module. Add a
basic MIDI/CV interface and then put it in a decent wooden enclosure. The
sound is fantastic and worth the effort.
