But yeah, pick up the phone book (remember that dinosaur?) and support your local dealer, the 'Moyers' in your town.

Would love to, but all the local TV parts houses have long ago gone out of business. Something to do with the death of the TV repair industry, I'm guessing...
Here in Northern NJ, we used to have Gem Electronics, Route Electronics (4 stores), Nidisco (4 stores), and Leader Electronics, all within a half-hour drive of me. Plus a couple surplus shops, and of course Radio Shack used to sell components.
Now Rat Shack is it, and they carry a handful of junky overpriced parts in a couple drawers in the corner of only a few of their remaining stores.
All that's left nowadays is the dwindling pickings at the occasional hamfest, or online ordering.
