1771 rack still running — where are you actually finding cards that aren't fairy dust?

Allen-BradleyField note

The question

PLC-5, 1771-IBN, two spares left. eBay feels like a coin flip. Corporate 'product availability' email was a shrug. Who has a real channel, and when did you stop and schedule the Logix cutover?

TS ControlsThe answer

Authorized surplus with a test report, or you don't buy it. When the spare count hits two on a running line, the cutover is already late. Gateway if you need Ethernet tomorrow. Logix if you want to sleep next year. We stopped pretending 1771 was a warehouse problem when the HMI was a 1000.
