Got to be willing to look outside your area.
Might be able to arange a deal.
Or maybe offer to buy an individual part.

Back years ago before my dicky ticker went wonky I was "buying up" a herd of used Shopsmith's (lost count at 25) so I could fully equip my shop (expecting it to be a production shop) with a batch of Shopsmith's and to have a large supply of parts (fearing then that the mother ship might crash and burn) I bought them from a wide area. They did all but one come from the east side of the Mississippi River. That one came from the west bank of the river in a village in southern Missouri. I'm in Central Indiana but one came from Springfield Massachusetts, one from Charlotte North Carolina and most of the rest were at least one state away. We just used the buying as an excuse for a bunch of mini road trips / vacations. :rolleyes: :) It was a lot of fun. Some of the trips were also used to visit friends and family in other states while we were fairly close. We had gone about 25 years without a vacation.
Special attention was paid to acquiring a good mix of SPT's and accessory items.
I better quit now, a very annoying tiny bug got in here yesterday and it's love affair with my lamp is driving me bonkers... :mad: :D
