Well, one can't stock every part, except in the case of a vacuum tube
radio, like a Heath transceiver where you can have a set of spare tubes
and a box of resistors and caps. Even with older Ten-Tecs, like the
Triton, Omni, or Corsair, there are plenty of DIP IC's that might not be
commmon. If you are in the boonies and absolutely must have a working
radio at all times (and who wouldn't), the best bet is to have a spare
radio that you can switch to until you are able to repair the primary radio.

*The 585 Paragon is New enough to be Dead Bang on Frequency and is very
easy to repair. Same thing with the Omni 6 Rigs. Although the Older
production runs are best, where surface mount components are concerned. You
could always purchase an old Omni D and add one of the DDS kits to it.
After adding the DDS Kit, they are very stable rigs.*
