I know there are some oligo synthesizer companies that will give credit
for their oligos in exchange for your old synthesizer.  Rather amusing
marketing strategy; too bad I didn't think of it.  Ask around;  one
company gave $2500 in oligos (about 120 sequencing oligo's worth) in
exchange for a ABI 291 PCR-MATE.
