Service Process

I doubt it makes much of a diff in desirability of the piece. Original is still an original but with about 1-1.5k pieces out there most of them have to be serviced again within the next ...
...decade. You can do that math of if it really dents any real value out of the piece. What you lose is probably gained by having a authorized serviced piece anyways.
