Bob & list:

Shouldn't the vendors who monitor the list topics figure out that there may be a healthy market for a VC exchange program as the Syncros pass the 10-12 year old mark ?

As far as I know there doesn't seem to be a wear & tear or breakage issue with internal VC components, just that the internal "strudle paste" becomes cooked and the unit needs a good cleaning and fresh "strudle paste". is that right?

Are the places that have the technology to recondition a VC so busy that this apparent market is unattractive or unprofitable?

What ever happened to good old american business acumen and greed?

Regards, JP
