Ok...

As I recall, those HV supplies were:
-obsolete
-over 20 years old
-had been out of production for as long
-were being sold from a small lot at a surplus store

These sound parts haven't already been obsoleted, have they?
Single source is really getting to be a pain with this stuff.

I believe you have a special dispensation on being a dick, as long as you only do it on your lunch "hour". ;-)
