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. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dauer, Edward Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2016 3:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] How to Order Elecraft Parts 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 . . . ?
