This has been going on for many years.

A local theatre got a system "upgrade" in 1983. They pulled out all
the Altec 600B surround speakers from the original Cinescope mag
system, and put crappy drivers in the boxes. Pulled the Altec tube
amps out, put crappy paging amplifiers in. Turned around and sold all
the Altec stuff in Japan at a huge markup. Telecom content? Some.
