Same with cars,lawn mowers, just about anything mechanical.
I used to carry parts to repair irrigation timers & heads, now just remove and replace.
Points & condenser for a Briggs was about $5 bucks and u had to put a set in just about once a year. Now the ignition module is about $60, but I have had the same mower for 12 years, tires and frame is shot, but never had to put points in it.
It's all good till it breaks.
