Yes I think plenty of people are all for parts swaps to replace obsolete parts no longer made. I think the problem is 2 fold. 1) People are taking out perfectly working finals and drivers in the quest for a few more meaningless watts. 2) Second if the part is still available and and you have a collector rig why not keep it all original $16 is not a significant sum for a final that will last another 20+ years. When the parts are gone completely or they get crazy like $30-$100 per part it would make more sense. If the original part lasted 30+ years why not replace it with an identical part.

Nothing is much worse than idiots butchering up a radio in the pursuit of a few more meaningless watts especially when the old parts in the radio are working as they should!
