Conclusion B- There is no reason that the South Bend parts people could not
make these things and sell them for 30.00 each,


Yes there is. They don't want to. They're not in the
parts manufacture business. They're in the "sell off whatever
stock is remaining business."

When it's all gone, that's it. No more parts. They've
priced them high because a) they don't care if they sell
or not, and b) there's effectively no competion for NOS
stuff. Actually a smart business decision IMO.

And at the risk of starting a flame war on this thread too -- why not?
If you can make them at a profit for $30 bucks a pop then do so. Sell
them to folks with SB lathes, make a tidy profit, and blow raspberries
at the "where are the jobs" threads.

It's called "free enterprise", and it's a damn good way to run an
economy as long as you put _some_ limits on it.
