[Amps] Alert to stockpile parts

[Charles Harpole]

As the ham population ages, the idea of not buying new stuff must be increasing;   so:
 
Lets alert folks to parts that will be very difficult to replace now and in the future:
 
All Alpha amps with front push buttons.  Because one button pushed cancels the other gang of push buttons, a simple single replacement switch will not do the job.
 
All amps with rotary wafer switches with dual actions and/or more than one wafer on one shaft.
 
Conversions to TEN meters------ICOM is out of the many parts to add ten meters to the IC-2KL, one of which is a rotary band switch.
 
Add your ideas here......................
 
All of my old amps are having failures of unique parts.   Sad but true.  ,73
