FWIW, I have been known to enlist the help of various HVAC techs who moonlight on the side for extra cash. They don't do it on their employer's time mind you. After hours and/or weekends. I did this a couple times and it worked out great for both parties. Obviously there are limitations in going this route.
We found an apartment complex "super" who moonlights as an A/C technician. He installed two condenser units for us in 2011.

I always keep spare contactor and capacitors for our units. I even salvaged them from my dead units, since some were only a month old. I also kept the fan motors.
