Ed,
You are 100% correct!!. I was on a project about 18 years ago with the Smithsonian Institution and I was able to see and touch the Enigma machines they had at in the storage area of the Museum. These had not seen the light of day for years until they opened the crate for me to see. These looked like they had been made yesterday and all in perfect condition.
There is no telling when they will ever be on display again as the Smithsonian only has a max of 10% on display at any time.
