Replacement parts likely come from China.

Since we have sanctions against them, as a result we’d prefer to freeze to death than find a working solution. Thanks for writing and some sanity actually still coming out of Oregon. There are a few of us out there but clearly we are in the captured blue state minority.

Yes a lot of parts are probably coming from China… and these towers are 15 years old and they don’t make all the new parts for them anymore… just some.

I live in Eastern Oregon most of the time (Florence is part time)… A little more sanity and everyone believes in the second amendment in eastern Oregon!! 🤷‍♀️😂😂
