And 10x, most of the 15s I've seen have had the sphinx decals and some have had gingerbread.

That would be why maintaining and preserving these old machines is important now. It's easy for people to see the beauty in the very old machines. It's much harder to find any beauty in plastic and pot metal machines made from the 80s to the present. Planned obsolescence and electronic circuit boards don't help either.
I also play with old woodworking tools. I thought about that with those too when someday someone will be trying to restore their "vintage" DeWalt plastic-bodied contractor's saw and will be wondering how to restore the faded plastic to it's once bright yellow.
I think I'll stick to my steel, iron and wood machinery and save the plastic for where it's appropriate.
