Are there any vintage looking MIDI controllers? Both with and without keyboard. Something available and affordable...

Anyone?

By vintage looking do you mean with wood end panels?

or maybe this kind of thing ...

Line 6 KB37 has a vintage look to it. VU meters and big silver knobs ...

Nice synths and they're MIDI controllers... they also empty those problem deep pockets.

Hm, ain't that rather a synth then a MIDI controller?

That just looks worn, not "vintage".
Otherwise I could just drag an Akai Advance through the mud, kick it around a bit, and post a picture here.

I think he was referring to the Prophet 8 in the post above mine.

P-12... and it has MIDI out, I think? As I said, maybe not a cost effective solution but definitely a good looker

This is my ImpOSCar two midi controller. Not cheap though.
32 inch screen for size reference. Not made anymore either.

Yea, I was refering to the p-8.
Not that many vintage looking MIDI controllers.
I think Doepfer might have some...hm...
