This isn't about TSC, but about 30 years ago, I had a sideline business fixing boats and outboard motors.
I needed a roller bearing for an outdrive unit. The bearing had spun in the housing and part of the number was obliterated. I went to a place called Precision Bearing and asked about a replacement. Some dumpy little dork on the counter with a stub of a cigar in his mug took one look at it and said, "It would be a G--D--- waste of time to even try", handed it back to me, and walked off.
I left in a huff and went to another bearing place called Power Drives and Bearings. I handed the bearing to the fellow on the counter, he took a caliper out of his shirt pocket, took a couple of measurements, reached up on a shelf, and handed me a new one.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
