i fully agree and also feel this supports the higher prices charged for some of the rare and small bits that are part of the 'vintage' habit. as i wrote offlist yesterday, most of these things were of no value 10 years ago. you couldn't GIVE most of the NR & SR spares and parts away once the late 80s passed.
