    What does AGD do with all those traded in valves?

    I was just thinking about all the valve trade in programs that have been around for a long time now (retro valve an x valve). Does anyone know what AGD does with all the turned in classic valves? It doesn't make sense to melt them down because that'd be a little expensive and they couldn't get much if they sold them for scrap.

    maybe they...strip them down, recondition them, make sure they meet tolerances, and resell them?

                  And I thought they were gutting them, capping the air and on/off ports and selling them to labratory equipment suppliers as precision stainless steel funnels.

                  Either that or maybe Gary Gibson is melting them down and using the steel to make new ice skate blades to once again go after the olympic gold.
