While you say it's the older crowd buying up the old equipment, I say it's the smart crowd doing the buying. I say this because the older stuff may be 'out of date' but it will never be obsolete. By that I mean gears, levers, linkages, etc have all been around for thousands of years, and will be around a thousand years from now. With this newer equipment they come up with something new electronically on them just about every year and then in just a few years quit making the electronic parts that they obsoleted with the new stuff. Basically when a $100,000 machine is setting broke down and unrepairable because the obsolete computer is dead and can't be bought anywhere because the OEM isn't making it or telling anyone how to make it, the old machines will still be in the field doing their thing with repairs made using readily available or easily duplicated parts....or worst case using 'bailing wire and duct tape'.....
