Not necessarily. The 659 was minding its own business and was running strong when they yanked it. I don't recall 658 having an issue when they stored it. Some of it has to do with overhaul(?) dates. Along those lines:

I was with you on the 654 until it wavered a few days ago. Hmmm. I can't remember which but one of the three listed above is due PM in early OCT.
Oh and BTW, there is no PM (92 Day inspection) on HHPs anymore. There hasnt been for over a year now. They are on the Continuous Maintenance Program like the ACS 64 is supposed to be.
I thought they put an end to that. What are the dates for? For example, the 661 is due for something Nov16th (not that it matters anymore), but if it isn't 92 what is it?
Given the circumstances, I fully understand if you can't write it on the board.

That would be cool indeed. We can double head it with an ALP-44o!
