Which is odd considering that you can make more money from spares than the
component parts cost in the first place.
Try building a car from spares and you see what I mean.

Subject: [modeleng] Throw away society
Hi All,
Just a Rant about the modern throw away society.
Our five year old Freezer from a major World famous manufacturer ( actually
made in 2005 according to the plate) has developed a faulty Thermostat.
When I tried to get a replacement stat from a spares company, I was informed
the appliance is obsolete and spares are no longer available.
I contacted the manufacturer who after over a week has now informed me that
they may have possibly found a source of supply but meanwhile via the
Internet I found a spares supplier who can get parts for obsolete appliances
so I have ordered a new bit.
So in all these times of Carbon Footprints and recycling etc. etc. the
manufactures are far more interested in new sales than repairs.
End of Rant
Regards
Clif
