Spares always cost the manufacturer more than new production so their price
is higher.  This and  most businesses.

It funny ....they charge 499.99 for a switching power supply....then only
charge a
little more for there FT-840 HF radio ......Surely a radio cost more to make
and is
more complicated than a power supply. I bet the don't even make it .....I
know for a
fact the switching power supply in the original 1000mp and the FT-990 was
made by
Futaba .....I have fixed those....It say futaba all inside those. I guess
they figure
you pay all that money for a radio ....they might as well gouge you on parts
...Kinda
like buying parts for a Mercedes or BMW ....i'll keep my old 1000MP
