Get a DX7 and a TX7 and you have the poor mans DX1 (or get a DX7 with 
Supermax extension and sound better than a DX1)

That is true.

I am bidding (nearly lowest possible bid), on the Lexicon 480L. If I win 
the auction, I will borrow a LARC and test it. If it is broken I will 
have some basic skills on repairing stuff like that.
If it appears then as unrepairable for me, I think I will be able to 
sell it again for mostly the same amount here. And even in the worst 
case, that it won't sell, the financial loss is not that big as, lets 
say with the PPG in the same situation.
