I need DVCPro parts for some DVCpro's at work. Does anyone know of a place that sells parts/refurbished parts? I got ahold of Panasonic but the parts there are a little expensive (as much as a new DVC!).

Anyone have any places?

Try:

Mouser Electronics, Digikey, or Newark Electronics.

Parts Express used to but I think they have discontinued carrying them.
