Your comment about compressors is not exactly true. There are piston and scroll compressors, although most are scroll today. There are one-speed and two-speed piston and scroll compressors. There are a couple of different manufacturers, although I believe Copeland is the largest in the residential market. The last time I had a compressor replaced it took 1 day to get the part from a regional distribution center and it was a 2-speed Bristol, not exactly a common compressor.

Surely you understand AC units are not like automobiles which have model changes every year. AC units of today are virtually the same as they were 40 years ago. A compressor is a compressor is a compressor and is only different in sizes. The only AC parts not usually in stock are compressors and the reason is the cost of over $2000 each.
