Well, my Rockwell tools _are_ 40 years old, after all...to be expected,
isn't it? I mean, sense of perspective and all - can you buy a new
flathead engine from Ford these days?

Maybe not from Ford, but for more popular versions of various things (in
my case, tractor parts), there are OEM-spec producers who produce various
parts to original spec (at least the good ones do). That, and old parts
from machine being parted out can keep old stuff going for a long time.
