Buying IR sensors

Where can we buy new IR sensors? All of ours seem to have magically broken over night in a way reminiscent of Titanic.

Where can we buy new IR sensors? All of ours seem to have magically broken over night in a way reminiscent of Titanic.From the FAQ (http://kevin.org/frc/faq.html):

Q: I can't find the TSOP34840 sensor in stock anywhere. Is there an alternative device?
A: Yes, use the virtually identical Vishay TSOP4840 (http://kevin.org/frc/TSOP4840.pdf), which is available at Mouser (http://www.mouser.com/index.cfm?handler=displayproduct&lstdispproductid=282288&e_categoryid=91&e_pcodeid=78202) and Newark (http://www.newark.com/NewarkWebCommerce/newark/en_US/support/catalog/productDetail.jsp?id=33C1857) (where for some strange reason it's incorrectly listed as a resistor).
