If your repair parts are coming from collectors, it is broke, and you're entering a stage where you can't guarantee that you can actually fix it.
- ghaff 7y agoIt really depends. A lot of old equipment around the world is kept running by finding and buying used parts or getting something custom made. Sure, at a given company or plant, some equipment might be costing more to keep running than it's worth and/or maintenance is just being deferred. But pretty much any industrial location is keeping things running with a lot of used parts.
