Problem is today it's nearly 35 years later. Most of the folks running those 80's shops are far into retirement or no longer above ground. I'm sure the equipment and parts are still kicking around, but it basically only takes one generation to loose the skill set required to do the task. Meanwhile the equipment will eventually be scrapped.
On the other hand, there's still no shortage of cheap combo consoles to pull good used 10BP4's from. But I'd avoid ebay until last resort.
