Q: Hello. I have an EC65A. I'm looking for a replacement for the body, but after speaking with a dealer I was told this part was discontinued. When looking for a replacement filter on your site, I see you still sell the EC65A and don't have a replacement for it. Why would you continue to sell a product that you've discontinued the parts for? I don't think it makes much sense for me to buy a brand-new filter from you knowing that I won't be able to buy parts for it if needed.
