Sold my last two MII machines about three years ago to an outfit that was digitizing their entire library. Happy to see 'em go, and for real money, too.
D2 machines are kept by a few local post houses for access to their tape library elements. A year or so ago, running examples were a hundred or so.
One local house has held on to one Sony 1" machine. I had some footage transferred from it last year.
BetaSP, DVCPro and DVCAM are still in my racks -- I'll probably keep them all for quite awhile. I have a BVU-800, too... mostly for ballast. Also, a Betacam non-SP machine, which should probably find a new home.
HDCam (or whatever Sony calls it) and XDCAM are still in frequent use.
