It's bad to trash a good used O-scope, but how about this?

There was a big music store around Pittsburgh that sold electronic organs. Big
ones, with a lot of sales to churches. When they made a sale to a church, they
promised to haul away the old pipe organ. Well, the first thing they would do
is put an axe thru all the pipes and mechnaisms of that pipe organ, rather than
have some other church use it to fix up their "obsolete" pipe organ, rather
than buy a new electronic job from you-know-who.

The amount of craftsmanship and fine handiwork in even a mediocre small pipe
organ is equal to a pallet load of R390As. --Mike K.

Oscar loves trash, but hates Spam! Delete him to reply to me.

This brings tears to my eyes. There are many ways of disposing of
used pipe organ parts to build hybrids, destroying is not one of them.
