Honestly, sourcing a transistor for an old TV takes forever

I've been on hold with distributors all morning.

Seriously? Three hours just for a capacitor? That's wild.

Tell me about it, this happens with everything now. Trying to get a simple part feels like a full time job. It feels like we've traded real stores and real stock for endless phone menus and warehouse searches. The basic stuff you need to fix things just isn't kept on hand anymore. We're all stuck waiting for the slow drip of a supply chain that forgot about local needs.
