Perhaps not.  But as both a craftsman and aficionado of antiques, I like to
build things that last as long as possible.  "Planned obsolescence" is for
Sony, not me.

And, since "They don't build them like they used to" is such a clichi, who's
to say that a 2000 transformer will live as long with a slight overload as a
1970 transformer did ?
