Can't Get Parts for It?

"We can't get parts for it" is what they say when they don't want to do this sort of work.  Antiques are a specialty that require skill and equipment most shops don't have.

The Elgin company, once the largest of manufacturers, hasn't existed for almost 50 years, they can't just call up their normal suppliers and any get drop in replacement part needed.  It just doesn't work that way.
