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?
