Hi Alex
Argentina received thousands of cmps and those that ended their days as scrap metal are those that were found for many years in the hands of merchants who bought them at auction and who only wanted to sell them. But a combination of high prices, many parts shortages, and little demand to restore them because of their high costs, led to them ending up and selling them for scrap weight. Very Sad...
