Seems like a non-sequitor to me.  My GM dealer still carries parts for
Oldsmobiles even though GM no longer builds them.

Haven't tried with HF, but when I needed a part for my obsolete "cheap
Chinese" drill press, Enco (another place similar to HF but specializing in
machine tools) had no trouble selling me a replacement casting even though
they no longer sold that model of drill press.
