Default Whos selling new PCU5000X these days?

Whos the source of the 5000X govenor these days?

AeroInstock has been listed as outta stock for at least a year, and whomever AeroTechnologies is, isnt called that anymore, and its not clear if they still sell the units. I have a call into AeroInstock but they show none, and are researching....

I need to spec out my gov, so I'd rather go to the source vs ask Spruce...not sure if they know what they are doing with a nonrefundable part like this.....

Any info/help is greatly appreciated.

I replaced mine not long ago after some of the problems surfaced with MT/Jihostri designs which I believe is the same as the 5000, (a few spilled their guts). I decided to go with the Hartzell, not much more $$ and a little more robust unit IMO.
