Gary, you scared me until I realized that you probably saw my FB post.

Thanks for getting me in the right direction...I had zero clue what they were even called. :)

Ryan, Sorry - didn’t mean to scare you! There’s got to be a stash of those things gathering 70 years of dust on some dark warehouse shelf someplace. Good luck finding them!

I have been looking for those as well, or something that will replace them for a while with no luck.
