Re: Parts out of stock
I haven't bought any parts for my 48 lately so I can't say anything on that.
Still it is like plywood or anything else. When they aren't allowed into the factories for months on end to produce anything what is on the shelves runs out.
I'd say the big issue with trinkets for enthusiast rigs is that all the sudden guys had a lot of free time on their hands and some money coming in and that slow moving project all the sudden got a lot of hours put in on it and parts bought for it. The lumber yards and hardware stores did a landslide business in the past year. If they could get stuff to keep up with the demand.
I'd expect to see a lot of fresh builds showing up at shows in the next few months.
