Given that making new magic eyes is unlikely, it would be better if NOS ones were not gobbled up by those wanting bling with their audio.

No, but they could do.

It needs to cross a critical number - either discourage people who want bling with their audio from gobbling up the NOS ones, or encourage them massively so the demand goes up and remanufacturing starts.

Even at £50 each, cost of a new-manufacture magic eye would still be less than half a tank of fuel in the car.
