Hi Peter - 

 

I really have no idea.  I managed to find one years ago.  An old guy who's
owned a computer store since the '70s still had one that hasn't been used in
25 years,  but for some reason he held onto it.

 

You're probably going to have to look for something similar.  I highly doubt
that they're going to be available new anywhere and they can't be copied.  

 

Or, of course, watch ebay.
