We do have one local hardware store left nearby. They family has owned it a very long time.
They carry Craftsman tools and if you can't find a part anywhere else they most times have it. Problem is there prices. It's not there fault but it hurts them!
People will try elsewhere first but if the parts can't be found they will have it.
