One other neat example is Sears/Craftsman tools: I have an engine lathe that my dad bought from sears in 1953, the year I was born. Several years ago on a whim I contacted Sears Parts & Service - the folks who repair refrigerators and stuff - and discovered that repair parts are STILL available for my 52 year old lathe! I bought a new set of headstock bearings and a new screw and nut for the compound slide...... Still, in today's world, even remembering you made something 30 years back is uncommon. Many companies don't keep most records more than a few years........ |
