Is it really? Maybe. If it’s a custom part it takes a lot to tool it. Then it takes a whole team and supply chain to get it and then send it out to the end user.Poor response / service to be sure. £50 is excessive but I take it the £1 estimate is an exaggeration for dramatic effect ?
If the part is so less expensive elsewhere then buy it elsewhere.
I recall a time where a speaker fell off the meter bridge of a neve 88R. Well wouldn’t you know it, some pot shafts were bent and mangled. Ams neve couldn’t sell us replacements because they were custom and they did not have the minimum quantity in the cue to merit placing an order. Imagine being told we can’t sell you the part right now because we don’t have enough pending orders to fill and order the minimum on a custom part. Took over 1.5 years to finally get told we could order the part and get it.
