Kinda random, how is any upgrade "too valuable" to risk actually using? If that's true, then it's virtually worthless. I figure people should photograph their upgrades and document them (maybe even draw schematics) so they can be replicated. That might not be strictly legal, but I can't see who'd care for discontinued products that are at least 20-30 years old.
The same reason lots of vintage cars are "too valuable" to drive, or some art is too valuable to display, or whatnot. Sometimes collectors are more interested in the possessing than the enjoyment of the item they possess. It's one of the reasons I love my '91 Toyota MR2. It's an absolute blast to drive, yet not so valuable or rare that damage is a huge tragedy (in fact, this is my second one after my first was killed by an errant left-turner).
Of course, if someone has no intention of trying an accelerator or upgrade, no matter how rare, then how will they ever know if it works? :) And does it matter?
