To me, it all depends on the rarity, but ultimately, nobody has the right to denounce what someone does with something the someone owns.? If Dummy Dingbat wishes to put big wheel tubs, drag slicks, skinny front tires, hood scoops, and a chopped top on his 1932 Bugatti Royale, Then who is anyone to tell him he can't do that?

I think we'd be hard pressed to find any piece of test equipment on the same rarity and general historical value level as that Bugatti.

But if my vintage, "rare" HPxxx which has the provenance of being used in the most critical piece of project Trinity and seen in nearly every documentary piece of film footage can be resurrected by replacing every last vacuum tube with FETs, then I call that a success.
