They list the quantities they have and, in some cases with some parts, they're
small enough that I'd have to buy two lots to get enough parts. In some cases
they've only got 6 parts at one location.
I've searched some of those sites you listed, and they've either never had the
WD (e.g. AVNET) parts at all or haven't had them since the '80's when they
went
out of production. The WD1773 wasn't that widely avaiable when it was in full
production, BTW.

I have. I received a reply (not to break the "private email" rule)
basically summed up as "we don't deal in such small quantities... try
here:"

Recycling is good, right??? Ok, so I'll recycle an *older* .sig.
