Good point: I would hate to see my local Sunbeam parts supplier go out
of business because I've cheaped out and bought some dreadful
mis-matched part.

On the other hand, it isn't clear that all the Sunbeam suppliers have
gone to the trouble and expense of remanufacturing. I expect some
simply mark up stock parts at least some of the time. If the thing I
am paying for is them knowing which Ford part I can just drop in, so
be it, but that is a different thing.

And you don't have to ask many questions here to learn that not all
Sunbeam parts suppliers supply the same thing. I'm not naming names,
but I hear someone's horror story and I'm more likely to shell out an
extra $30. But when I do that 15 times, it starts to hurt.

Miserly yours,
 Barry
