I occasionally see them for sale at hamfests. I have gotten a few that way, but I shouldn't have - I haven't used any yet. Not even the big, (relatively) heavy old U.S. military one.
If you look for one that way, be sure that any that you find still has its set of plug-in coils.
I had the thought to get one some time back, and started looking on ebay. It's amazing how many of these units do NOT have any of the coils with them! I know of one guy who took on one of those and proceeded to try and make his own coils, but I'm not feeling that ambitious these days...
I wonder where all of those coils go?
