[Elecraft] How to Order Elecraft Parts

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

IMX, Elecraft avoids selling individual parts except for the rare cases they
are needed for an upgrade or mod. I'm told that by the time they add
handling charges the cost becomes very high and fulfilling those needs
causes inventory problems for them when stocks are held according to the
anticipated product needs. 

Contact Digi-Key (www.digikey.com). They handle small orders without
excessive charges. Now that Radio Shack is closed down here too, I get
everything from them, usually within a couple of days clear across the
country for nominal postal charges.

Is there a way to determine the prices of parts available from Elecraft and
then to order them?  I am aware of the ³Parts and Mod Kits² page, but that
doesn¹t begin to list everything.  For example - and there are many other
examples - I need to buy a couple of DB9 backshells.  Simple, yes?
To my dismay, the Radio Shack stores across the 100 mile stretch between my
city home and my operating QTH don¹t carry them any more.  I can find them
at other sellers online but the handling and delivery charges for quantities
under 1,000 are severe.  Ham Radio Outlet doesn¹t carry much by way of DIY
parts either.  In this case I just ordered them from Elecraft as an add-on
to a kit order, without knowing the cost.  Maybe Elecraft doesn¹t want to be
in the small parts business, and that would be a sensible business judgment.
But there are lots of parts used in their kits for which some klutz who
stepped on one would like to buy a replacement.  So, is there a way to
access a parts price list without bothering Richard every time . . . ?
