My brother-in-law and I split a vintage TR-808 a few years back and rocked a timeshare, ha. It looked super bad ass, and the sounds were as expected, but man, a real chore to operate compared to today's interfaces. We didn't last long and ended up selling for considerable profit only months later. Most definitely proud to say I was an owner at one (brief) point in time though.
I've since been using the Roland TR-8. Essentially Roland's digital answer to the classic. Super user-friendly, much more modernized, and all the classic sounds of all the TR series machines. I definitely vouch for it
