Makes you wish there was a store... Or a place... Or somwthing where you could get components for you phone... Like maybe a store that sells radios... Or, hell, even a shack...

Unfortunately it also makes replacement parts more expensive, but higher costs for both make the repairs hourly rate less comparatively. Combining from donor units will be more useful though.
