With high mile iron, it does get to the point of nickle and diming on a favorite rig or sell it and either buy new or a 'better' used which could turn out to be getting someone else's problem child or a 'good' one. Back in the day, you could dump 4-5 K of rejuvenation/restoration into a 'keeper' and get another 100k out of it. Nowadays it's triple that and you still need to worry about electronics as well ! :shock:
I'll stay with my 70's - 80's iron I can still work on myself !
