Thanks for writing the nice summary.
I've followed that first one almost to excess, at tech-oriented flea markets, second hand dealers who buy auction lots of industrial equipment and local metal fabricators' scrap piles. Last night I visited the local Maker Space and found I had at least one of almost all metalworking machinery and electronic test equipment they did, except for CNC, which I haven't needed because so much of what I make is cut-and-try matching to existing parts.
I should have mentioned these earlier. Sorry, age-tempered CRS.
