So do I. In fact one thing that finally convinced me that I needed a lathe was when a company flatly refused to supply spare parts. I got the lathe, refreshed my memory of how to use it (I'd taught myself at school, long story) and made said parts.
Spent the afternoon making a little plastic grille for an Austalian telephone. It's not a pefect copy of the original part, but it's close, it will fit and I won't modify any other parts of the telephone so if I ever get the right one I can put it in.
