In response, we have:

1. Archived the predecessors (2009 prices, 1972 to 2016) by renaming with an "_09" specifier, marking metadata as "discontinued", and segregating in the catalog.
2. Created one-for-one replacements (2012 prices), which have an unchanged start date.

Subset properties:

• Industry classification: NAICS 2012
• Measurement: Millions of U.S. dollars at current prices (Mil. USD) or at chained year-2012 prices (Mil. Ch. 2012 USD)
• Adjustment: Not applicable
• Native frequency: Annual
• Start date: 1972

The active series reside in the historical catalog (United States » Industry » Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization (FRB G.17) - NAICS 2012 »  Annual » Capital expenditure) and the predecessors under the associated "discontinued" node. They include, for example:

• CECFRINVEMF_09UA.IUSA = [DISCONTINUED] Capital expenditure: Investment equipment - Manufacturing - All industries, (Mil. 2009 USD)
• CECFRINVEMFUA.IUSA    = Capital expenditure: Investment equipment - Manufacturing - All industries, (Mil. 2012 USD)
• CECFRSTKE3119UA.IUSA  = Capital expenditure: Capital stock equipment - Manufacturing - Other food [3119], (Mil. 2012 USD)
• CECFRSTKW3343UA.IUSA  = Capital expenditure: Capital stock software - Manufacturing - Audio and video equipment [3343], (Mil. 2012 USD)

Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
