CC Cloner has saved my bacon more than a few times with bootable
systems for new machines. They began introducing more "regularly

Or donate to a repair shop that might be able to use parts from it to
keep someone else's Mac alive. Just get the hard drive out first and
write over it or destroy it separately.
