But what about oldies like our Roadsters, for which parts are rapidly becoming NLA?

Maybe because new rotors are fifty bucks or less on most cars.

This just occurred to me - and I'm surprised that I haven't run across
it before: Are brake discs repairable by surface buildup weld repair and
regrinding? I can foresee potential problems with this - warping especially -
but maybe this is not an insurmountable obstacle? 

I have seen some pretty beat-up crankshafts welded and reground, but this
thread on brake rotors made me realize that I have never heard of this being
done to brake discs.
