FWIW, our local Fry's Electronics looks like an old Soviet supermarket with bare shelves. I asked if they were going out of business and an employee told me the Chinese tariffs had really put a dent in their supply chain. I could not get some of the most basic toggle switches and capacitors.

It's hard to buy that stuff online, as the shipping is often more than the product and I just never need enough to get the free shipping. For tube amp stuff I don't need right away, I order from tubesandmore.com. They're local to me, but it's a long drive.
