Here in the UK virtually all the local component outlets have disappeared.
However, there are plenty of mail order suppliers and one can get most
items
the next day.
==============================
Indeed ,considering all the States side parts stories , in the UK we are
most fortunate in having a number of small, often '0ne or persons '
companies supplying ( by 'next day' mail ) a large variety of common and
sometimes not so common parts at very reasonable prices.
Because of their limited turnover they are not forced to levy Value Added
Tax (VAT) = purchase tax.

I am a happy customer (only) of the following 2 , but there are many others
