This!

I found a 16700A with 16750A & 16750B modules (64+4 channels
per module, 2GHz timing, 400MHz state) for $342 with shipping.
Later I found a 16534A digital oscilloscope module (500 MHz,
2GSa/s) for $199. All this was on eBay. The bad news is most
of the logic analyzers I've seen on eBay do not include the
pods and grabbers. I had a difficult time finding a complete
set of 8 pods with proper labeling. If you don't mind having
mismatched pods (e.g. 2 Pod3 and no Pod4) it is not quite so
difficult, plus I doubt you would need a full set for 128+8
channels for anything Synth-DIY related.

I have an older HP logic analyzer that I might sell now that
I have the 16700. I have not decided yet. The 16700 is a
beast and probably not practical to carry to maker events.
If I sell I will offer it here first.
