Obviously you've never pulled out your wallet to buy parts from Raytheon
(Beech). On one of the Bonanza lists recently was someones tale of buying
a rear engine baffle. Had to pay something like $6000 for it, and then
wait 3 months for them to make it. In my mind this is pretty close to
stop making parts.

How doe Raytheon price their parts? They put a dollar sign in front of
the part number.
