I eventually figured out that keeping spares for my old machines was
costing me more than getting a newer machine that has more readily
available parts. 

There are exceptions of course, but a lot of the time you reach a point
where you could save money, time, and stress levels by dumping the old
stuff that is getting hard to support.

If I had more room, I might increase spare count a little, but I've
finally managed to dump most of the "it might be useful" stuff.

Of course, occasionally I have dumped stuff I should have kept, so it is
a learning experience over time.
