I've noticed the east coast has been hit hard this year.

Yes, free battery water. That likely went over the heads of 40 and below.

I'm still waiting for a G24-48 gel cell for a electric pallet jack with fork lift
capability. The economy is coming back, getting a freaking battery is taking a week and
fanuc parts are out there at least a week+ or so on many items.

Japan doesn't seem to understand JIT like they used to. I needed a bearing pack for a THK
motion system. It was 2 months out two months ago. I just recieved it. I can tell you
many horror stories about getting repair parts out of Japan. Japan is getting worse than
Europe on holiday.

The recovery, that I think has finally started, is going to be rocky. My opinion might be
biased by working in a firm that has a pick up in sales during the summer.


Panasonic has a 25 week lead time on some electrolytics I need. I
like their FM series low ESR 105°C capacitors for switching power
supplies.
