If you can take the aggravation, look at what they did to a Monarch EE


According to a coworker of mine, this is an outgrowth of policies
set at the end of WWII where it was seen as the government's
duty to throw perfectly good stuff away (vehicles driven off floating
piers into the sea, planes flown directly from manufacturer to
scrapyard) so as not to affect the market for new goods...



That actually makes sense, in a perverse way....
