Oh, Man. That problem--the disappearance of many components--is
an increasing pain already. I went to the local Radio Shack last week
to buy a couple of 9-volt battery terminal clips and they didn't have
any and the catalog showed them as discontinued. Can you feature that?
And the big electronics shop in the city doesn't have roller-lever
microswitches or a decent selection of potentiometers or even a DPDT
spring-center-off toggle switch. Nor dop they have the employees who
know anything about some of this stuff. It seems that 99.9% of people
are buying everything instead of building it, and either contracting
out the repair of it or tossing it and buying a new one. Sad. And
that's why so many of our young folks have no idea what's under the
hood of a car or the cowl of an airplane, or even inside a simple
switch or lawnmower engine.
