SOURCES FOR COMPONENT PARTS
Inovonics strives to maintain factory stock of the parts used in
products that we manufacture. A good many of the components in
the Model 261 are generic and may be obtained from a wide variety
of sources.
A few parts may be more-or-less proprietary. These either are
manufactured specifically for Inovonics or purchased directly from a
manufacturer that sells only in production quantities.
Inovonics does not depend on parts sales to fatten our coffers. Nor
do we impose a minimum charge for parts. In some cases we will
elect to supply nuisance parts at no charge, rather than bothering
to generate the necessary paperwork. Always check with the factory
as we may well prove the best source for your replacement compo-
nent needs.
The electronic component distributors listed below have proven
themselves reputable suppliers for small quantities of component
parts for broadcasters and for other commercial or professional us-
ers.
With all due-diligence, please avoid the temptation to use
cross-referenced hobbyist or TV/VCR Repair Shop direct
replacement
(ha!)
parts.
A majority of the ICs, capacitors, resistors or connectors used in the
261 will be available from one or more of these firms. Each supplier
maintains a Website and publishes a full-line printed catalog, which
is free for the asking. Minimum-order restrictions may apply, and
export orders may prove somewhat problematical.
