You're not kidding about OLD, but as long-passed time is spot-on for the topic, let's take a little stock here…
All of us go through hot and cold phases in hobbies like this. 2013-2015 was my hot phase, when I was new and loading up on all the vintage and modern mechs I could find. It was a good time to be around, as I was right on the scene for
Tinnie's Kishsaver haul and for accessibly priced beamsprings, among other things. I formed most of my taste (a kinder word for prejudice!) in that time, too. By the end of it, I was firmly into Topre and Model F, where I've remained since.
As for the cold phase, well, mine was prompted by
real life stepping in. I eventually came back up to surface from all that, and I've
scored a few more keyboards and the like since, but yeah I'm definitely past the crazy-keen collecting days of yore. I do still use my keyboards quite heavily, however. This isn't one of those hobbies like guitars you can put aside at length! So I'm still '
keyboard adjacent' and occasionally even 'in the game', but not as deeply as I was. I suspect the same is true of almost all longterm keyboard enthusiasts, who don't have space for a complete
warehouse museum.
