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.

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.
