Right. My little cottage industry/side gig used to build electronic boards that were used to interface 40+ year old machine tools to modern controls when the original controllers broke and replacements weren't available. I sold to a small company that did nothing but retrofits like that.

Really wish I could find more niches like this. It's a boring but profitable domain to get into.
