Almost every manufacturer extant today only makes a limited number of
ASIC's etc. for their equipment. The question is how many?
I worked in the consumer electronics repair business for a while and found
that even Sony, which is one of the best when it comes to making older
parts available, eventually ran out of some things.
So I guess the question is how long did Ten-Tec estimate that their older
rigs would be around and what would be the failure rate of the components,
and how many did they think they needed to make extra when they had the
parts made? Maybe they underestimated. That's show business.

For orphans, look at T T web site for a list. The fault, Dear Brutus, is
also the mfgs. who just stop making a part with no regard to its users.
