Unfortunately, the percentage who _are_ willing to chop up original machines,
leaving them non-functional (as in this case), is sufficiently high that the
field's reputation is mud among many in the wider collector community.
Whether this eventually exerts any influence on the field is an open question.
My guess, sadly, is 'no': the world doesn't work that way any more.
