1.250" dia speaker

Uniden is legally obliged to provide service parts. If they refuse, there's nothing much you can do about it, but I'd at least bend their ear. Hard.

You might ask Uniden if a current model uses the same speaker.

Radio Shack? You must be joking! Try a real electronics vendor.

Digi-Key, f'rinstance, shows a bunch of little bitty speakers in their catalog. Like a "miniature monitor speaker", 32mm square, p/n

Since when? Certainly if they are, there's a time limit - ie 1 year after model is discontinued.

their ear. Hard.

So wait - they're legally obliged but there's nothing you can do if they don't? Doesn't make sense.

Try mouser.com .

Since a long time ago. It used to be 3 years for cosmetic/trim parts, 5 years for mechanical parts, 10 years for electrical/electronic components. The laws appear to have been weakened, and no one seems interested in enforcing them.

It makes perfect sense, if it costs too much money to drag them into court.

Laws are effective only to the extent that people or businesses are willing to obey them, and governments to enforce them.

Call Uniden. Tell them that if they don't supply a replacement at a reasonable cost, you'll toss the phones in the trash, and will never buy Uniden products again.

And they will say "Fine with us, but you should know that disposing of electronic items that way is illegal in some locales".

How about eBay for same/similar handsets? If you get lucky it could be less $$ than the parts!

Then you say, "If you provided service parts, as the law requires, I wouldn't be obliged to dump them."
