Ditto. Sorry, but vendors need to earn a sufficient profit to stay in
business. The longer it sits, the higher the return needs to be on the
part. Consider $100 dollars invested in a part 10 years ago could just as
easily--or far more easily--return 10% annually in the stock market, so a
smart businessperson will increase the price of the part accordingly if the
market will bear it. Sorry, but the "laws" of economics are unavoidable
and we're a very captive market.
Also, our '69 2000's tanau cover is too shrunk to fit. What is and who has
the best new replacement tanau cover?
