One thing to remember is that sometimes for equipment to meet the
definition of scrapped, it has to be irrepairably damaged. For
instance, IBM has a strict rule that boards that are scrapped for tax
purposes have to be shredded. And when I've been in Austin Electronics,
I've run across boards that have connectors cut off so they can't be
used for their original purpose (tin connectors, so I know no one was
going for the gold).
While I don't support that kind of mutilation of historically
interesting equipment, do you think it could be such a situation?
