Manufacturers live in the real world, and can only buy parts that are 
manufactured by other companies. When those other companies discontinue 
a part, alternative sources must be found, and that sometimes isn't 
easy, or the alternative is not of good quality. Many years ago, a fine 
US company called Ten Tec, based near Nashville, TN, developed the first 
solid state power amp based on Motorola output devices. After a year or 
two, Motorola discontinued them, they were unique parts, and Ten Tec had 
to discontinue the amp. I believe I remember reading that Elecraft was 
having this issue with parts for some of their older products.

As to contacting support -- the telephone works great.
