We live in a day and age where technology is advancing almost at the speed of light. Every time you switch on the idiot box there is a new advertisement for a new product or technology that is guaranteed to make your life easier or more fun to live. Even technologies that you bought last year are being replaced with newer and fancier models carrying advanced features that will improve the use of your current technology. And we all know what it is like when a technology that we rely on breaks, it can be the most frustrating thing in the world. Fixing your television today that you bought five years ago is quickly becoming more expensive than simply replacing it. Why? At the brass tacks level it is all about parts. Technology advances because the parts that make it run are advancing even before the technology itself is. What this means is that the parts that make your television run now, are going to be obsolete in a year or two when a new television model hits the market. You will often find on a television repair invoice that the parts actually cost more than the labor involved to fix the machine. You will also find that the time it takes to 'get the part in' will be much longer than the labor hours required as well. Because the nature of electronic parts is rendering them obsolete, surplus stores and obsolete electronic components businesses are cropping up by the dozen to compensate for this need for electronic parts that are difficult to find elsewhere. Purchasing a new electronic part or component for your technology that may be considered obsolete has its advantages. Of course with new parts you can expect longer life and greater quality repairs. With those new components though you will often find higher costs and possibly more failure rates on your piece of equipment while your machine 'breaks in' the new electronic part. But buyers and sellers of obsolete parts are managing to find a way to meet each other. These hard to find electronic parts stores exist solely to save you money and time when repairing your equipment. Key factors to look for when sourcing out these stores are the history and reputation of the business, availability of a warranty on the parts you are purchasing, customer support, and of course the price factor. I for one am glad that some amount of warranty is available when buying electronic components. This is because they derive their inventory from parts of previously working systems and can easily replace it for you within the one year timeframe. One highlight of dealers of obsolete parts is that they tend to have long standing relationships with supplies. You will also find that these parts will work better than other parts as they are not often associated with failure rates if they have already come from a previously used system. If you are looking for electronic parts and want to save money doing so, it just takes a little research and leg work. But the cost savings will be well worth your time.
