I work in aerospace industry now. Trust me, the amount of hardware stored for decades ongoing projects is shocking. Storages are full, basements are full. Labs and offices slowly turn to storages too. Once you throw it away, there is no way to buy a replacement. So if one can get rid of parts for some finished/discontinued project everything gets disposed asap.

One vital piece was discovered being used as an ashtray. https://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/9664538.the-falklands-raid-they-called-mission-impossible/ https://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/9664538.the-falklands-raid-...
