I am aware of those things,Miller. We have operated a home business for more than 20 years. More like 25. Years ago I bought a little 10" (senior moment,can't think of the WELL KNOWN brand)lathe. It had been made in 1943 for the Navy. Unfortunately,the Navy did not ask for any spare parts to be made available. I called the company,and the only thing they had available was a cast iron cover for the gear train. BUT,they told me I'd have to PAY FOR STORAGE SINCE 1943. I said to heck with that and sold the lathe. Let them keep their blasted part and store it for 100 more years,and we'll see who came out ahead!
