I second that from Bruce, I also do a ton of VFX repairs and been getting them at http://photonelectricllc.com they are usually in stock and ship out very fast.

He has 6 - VFX3648 inverters that are 10 years old. They're only used in the summer months but still going strong. He needs to increase his system size to about 28kW. My understanding is that Outback no longer supports the old VFX inverters. I'm wondering if anyone knows if we can still get parts? I did see an email from Tump that mentioned someone who repairs boards but I was wondering if I could get boards, maybe I could just install them in any outback inverter and make it into a VFX 3648 (if it had the vent /fan mount in it). Next I'm wondering if the MATE ever died if I could either get a replacement MATE or if a MATE 3 would be compatible? Same question for the HUB10? The VFXs are certainly proven technology. Hate to replace them if I don't have to.
