Yeah. You're right.
So long as everybody's happy.
What good was it doing in the rafters anyway?
I'm about to order some stupid little rubber washers from steele for $5 a pop. I do feel exploited. So there's the other side of the coin. Maybe its the high cost of reproductions that makes our 'sport' what it is. Maybe unsued spare parts are just that and not valuable antiques.
Who can to say.
By the way, what DO the 2 oldest professions have in common? Are those professions so different from all others in compromising morals/ethics for money? Or is it just a matter of degrees?
But forget all that.
Enjoy the vintage iron!
