It really sucks that the manufacturer isn't willing to supply a replacement.

Sometimes manufacturers only sell through distributors, in that case you would need to find a supply house that sells their equipment and work with them for the parts. Manufacturers rarely want to work with consumers. ..but if it's a case where their equipment is garbage and they stopped producing the part or just don't sell parts in general to force equipment replacement than you might be completely out of luck finding a replacement that's an identical match.

I bought a replacement blade for a condenser from these folks. Look in page 2950 and 2951.

These folks are generally geared to selling to professionals but they usually don't turn down someone buying a one-off item. I've bought about half a dozen things from them and made up a company name and gave them my address and phone number to make things easier, but I don't think it's really needed.
