There's no 'should' or 'shouldn't'. It's up to each person to do what they want with the machine they've got.
Having said that, once any artefact gets beyond a certain age, then in my view the present keeper has some sort of responsibility to its heritage and future keepers of it. Not everyone thinks the same, though and who is to say whose view is correct?
ISIS and others have been destroying ancient buildings and monuments, hastening what time will eventually turn to dust. The National Trust try and preserve buildings and their contents, to the extent that you're not allowed to touch things in case the grease from your fingers hastens deterioration.
