No place local to even buy electronic parts anymore.....transistors, resistors, caps, transformers, pots, switches.....

There used to be a small independent parts & repair place near me that you could bring in your schematic & describe the problem, & the guy would suggest what part(s) you might need. I did that with a TV we had back in the late 70's; the guy circled the part, a capacitor, & sold me a replacement for something like $.19, & it fixed it.
