There are more than enough of these out there to let some of these fall through the cracks... and become potentially cheap parts from junkyards.

So many of these survived (and parts are pricey) that it just doesn't make financial sense to revive an edge-of-death case when you can buy a great example with little work needed for less money overall.

I'd much rather pay 4-5k for a good CD than spend the better part of a year and 3-4K (on parts) fixing up a clunker.
