So JLC can't get the inductors, no great surprise . But they having problems getting the IC as well. I then get these images as the stock they can get looks like corrosion but that's the only option right now. I asked if they can be cleaned up, but not heard back yet, and now getting emails about supply chain disruptions. so even if I do manage to obtain the parts, the boards may not even work, A) because JLC suck, and B) problems obtaining parts which probably won't work.

I went with JLC as they had most of the parts in my account from the previous PSU builds, and I only want to build up a couple of prototypes. But that seems less likely of being possible now.

Problem is, I will have to order parts from USA and China again, and get my UK fab house to make them, which for 2 boards isn't very cost effective either. Always the same trying to get anything made these days, always a bunch of bad options all the time :(

Yeah, it's a real PITA today even though we live in the best of all possible worlds...
