I've only recently become aware of Yamaha MU. For the longest all I ever had were SoundBlaster cards, and I liked the Yamaha sound from them but that Roland option was always there in game setups that built a mystique which only later I was able to discover its majesty. However, later SoundBlaster cards had a wavetable header, which I thought were replacements for the bespoke external modules, and I never got any of those until relatively recently. I understand that the samples may have changed, but aren't there specific soundfonts which could be loaded onto those boards like the X16 intended to match some of those legacy sounds? Maybe even that Yamaha sound too?

Cost is a big reason. If not for the exploitative prices from China, the prices are just too high for my pay grade. Secondly, there is a lack of skilled technicians around that can replace capacitors around my area. Even if there is someone with the knowledge, skillset, and expertise, it loops back around to the cost as it is tedious work which may take triple digits an hour for that sort of labor which is beyond my means. In theory, the solution is to combine the answers, but shipping the parts to China for some low cost labor to repair old computer parts will cost in addition to an added issue of an exceptionally high probability of getting scammed not only losing the parts, money, and personal information dealing with the Chinese.
