I posted a couple of part search sites in the link, so best of luck.

    Agreed. We have 1 broker we trust. Before this hit, in 2020 we were building ventilators and bought the world out of certain components, so we built up our trusted supplier list, but. but now shortages are everywhere, so every one of our customers is trying to get parts.

    Best of luck.
