If they've been sitting there doing nothing for at least three years there's also the consideration of leaking Ni-Cads on the power supply boards. The 3586 is yet another item where the backup battery was often ignored for very long periods and with very nasty results at times. The corrosive green goo that builds up on the gold plated PCB surface can also find it's way down into the edge connector and even onto the motherboard in severe cases. Not nice !!

Fair Radio is perfectly happy to have something sit there for decades figuring they'll get their price eventually. In this case they want $750 for them: https://www.fairradio.com/catalog.php?mode=viewitem&item=2746 I've been there a few times with a wad of cash and couldn't get them to move by anything significant so ended up leaving with more cash than gear. Probably for the best anyway.
