    I was curious about this idea myself. Maybe an entry-fee venue with EMs could promote local interest to the point where people will be willing to part with $3K or more for a super-reliable, working piece of vintage americana. It doesn't seem to be there yet, but hopefully your Vector and barcade efforts will help it along. Gotta carve out a complementary mindset to compete with the white-glove, museum-piece thinking, which gets close to fetishizing IMO.

    Quoted from NicoVolta:

    Heh... kind of. It sounds silly but some improvements really are better than what was originally offered. I have an AX stepper relay replacement in the lab right now. Once I get it optimized for production, it will indeed be better than new. Much, much better.
    Stay tuned. You'll want some.

    Cool. Is it a SS or EM replacement?
