I still say it was purely a business decision WHEN THEY MADE IT. Yes, some parts might be difficult to get now, but when Elecraft offered the last chance buys they obviously expected to be able to source the necessary parts or they wouldn't have done so. With Elecraft's apparently limited resources, I don't think readily available parts would make them change that decision. They have simply decided to move on, and if my K3 fails I will look to buy my next rig from a different vendor that at least offers some sort of repair capability from certified 3rd parties in case I might be unable to repair it myself.
A modular upgradable rig isn't anything special if you can no longer buy modules.

Dave you wrote: "Parts are obviously still available for the modules and accessories for which they accepted last time buy orders ... they just decided not to make any more after that." Well maybe you need to re-read the post from Elecraft regarding not being able to obtain some of the parts for the modules. As has been pointed out by many manufacturers there is a worldwide parts procurement problem going on and many parts are now unobtainable which it isn’t exclusive to Elecraft.
