One thing you can do is go to brokers. These people buy old stock from suppliers but also buy old stock from manufacturers who go out of business or who no longer meed the part.

The parts you get are espensive and don't have the same chains of paperwork and may have been mishandled.

There is a problem that you can end up bidding against yourself and driving the price up.

Those guys will skin you alive if they can. I'd almost rather take my chances making a production run... almost.
