Re customers getting parts, that route is a recipe for trouble for the professional. I'm not surprised most won't get involved with that.

Sometimes it's best. If they want some weird gear so they can get a

Few tradesmen will get involved in odd setups these days. Times have changed. I remember buying from a place where they had electrical stuff plugged in, some with bare live bits that should not have been live. They knew and couldn't care less.
