My girlfriend manages a RS.  If you seeing that kind of crap, it's because
of the manager, not because of any corporate policy.  Complain to the
district manager, and if that doesn't get you a good response, move up to
regional.

Outside of that, at least her store has some of those parts in stock.  As
have just about any other store in this are I've been in (only one out was
when I bought the last couple for experimentation before she got promoted).

Hmm... from the irzapper.doc file I have laying around:

          LED1 - SEP8703-1 IR LED (RS 276-143; the emitter from the 276-142
                 emitter-detector pair also seems to work)
          GP1U52X IR detector module (RS 276-137)

(Threw in the transmitter one as well, just cause it was within a few
lines.  Just called the gf, and verified the 137 part no.)

Also, RS should be doing online sales soon as well.
