Allied Electronics (www.alliedelec.com) is probably the "distributor-of-least-resistance" (to coin a phrase) within the US. The number of available options and configurations is a bit daunting, and there seems to be about a dozen different versions of the datasheets online. The good news is that just about anything within the SY3000 series is legal this year (including their 3-way valves). Allied doesn't carry the entire product line in stock (they are heavy on the 24V pilot valves), but it seems that the lead time on most non-stock items we've wanted has been only a few days.

That said, most of our stock has come from eBay (subject to the usual accounting rules when it comes to the BOM for the competition).
