If ANYBODY on this planet has it, the place would be Skycraft Surplus in 
Orlando. they'll do mail order, but it is a *very* busy place, so you may 
not get the kind of phone support you would get from a strictly mail-order 
place. Don't call on Saturday - the place is an utter madhouse - try a 
weekday morning.

Of course, you could also find a lister in Orlando (we have several) and 
ask them to make a field trip for you. I'm 50+ miles away, or I'd do it - 
the place is amazing, everything from microscopic metric hardware to 
surplus cruise missile fins to a whole wall of obsolete Tektronics scopes. 
If you remember Cortland Street in NYC ("Radio Row"), this is very similar, 
but with newer technology.
