Almost nothing. You might be able to get a couple hundred for parts.

Didn't know it was broken. I fired up my machine for old times sake the other
day and PCE ran just fine, just like it always did. Though, as Michel pointed
out, since you can now run Medley on a PC there's not much use for it.
Twisted idea: bring up SoftPC on a Sun and run Medley in it. You're now running
an emulation of a d-machine (sort of) on an emulation of a PC... Anyone
got any machine emulators that run in Medley and we can see how far we
can take this? Something like an IBM 360 emulator would be great :-).
