I did NOT say "most parts" - I said parts. By which I meant replacement wire,
wall plugs, screws, nuts  bolts and solder, etc. I did not imply or mean that
special Bakelite or hard rubber plugs in odd configuration would be available
-- although some of their internals might be - at your local True Value or Ace.

I have long since found that the heaters on Mr. Coffee style coffee pots are
not replaceable at anything approaching an economical price. When the hot plate
dies you might as well toss the unit and look for a replacement. Bunn-O-Matics
are a different proposition. They are made right here in the Great American
Outback (across town from me) and are pricey to buy ... but, they tend to live
longer than the Mr. Coffee or Hamilton-Beach you get at China Mart.
