Just as we were ready to go into production the part was discontinued.
I had to scramble to figure out some other means to perform the function

Yes, and for Elecraft, that's a significant expense for a vintage
product. The better mfrs, like Elecraft, do their best to stockpile
parts as spares, but there's a limit to what you can do, and the sort of
curve balls you've described do get thrown. Our emerging worldwide
health crisis has the potential for damaging, even eliminating, a lot of
businesses both large and small.
